New Jersey
Overview
The Petey Greene Program has been active in New Jersey since 2008. We recruit, train and coordinate undergraduate and graduate student volunteers—as well as community member volunteers—to serve as academic tutors for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people throughout New Jersey. We recruit volunteers primarily from:
Princeton University
Rowan University
Rutgers University
The College of New Jersey
New Jersey Community (volunteers not affiliated with the above universities or who are not university students)
We primarily support students enrolled in high school equivalency programs, and focus on the following subjects: math, reading, writing, social studies, and science. Bilingual tutors are encouraged to apply!
Current partner institutions and programs include:
East Jersey State Prison
Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution
Garden State Youth Correctional Facility
Northern State Prison
Rutgers University - Mountainview Community
South Woods State Prison
Advisory Board Members
