Organization and Contact
Program Overview
The Brown Tutoring Corps (BTC) mobilizes Brown University students in local K-12 schools and other elementary and secondary programming to support youth to make academic gains, develop mindsets and skills that contribute to postsecondary readiness, and build relationships with Brown University.
A collaboration between the Annenberg Institute and the Swearer Center for Public Service at Brown University, BTC is grounded in a research-backed, high-impact tutoring model. We partner with educational leaders to design programming responsive to schools' priorities and students' needs, driving measurable impact through data-driven, targeted learning support, with strong relationships and mentoring playing significant roles in student experience.
The Annenberg Institute's core mission is to equalize and improve educational opportunities by connecting people, evidence and education practice, while the Swearer Center's primary goal is to make experiential learning central to a Brown student's education. Fulfilling the goals of both entities, BTC provides an important resource to K-12 students in the Providence community, building on the university's commitment to Providence and surrounding cities, and giving Brown students an opportunity for meaningful public service. BTC tutors become a part of the fabric of the schools and communities they are serving.
