The Petey Greene Program

Founded in 2008, the Petey Greene Program (PGP) supports the academic goals of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people through high-quality volunteer tutoring programs, while educating volunteers on the injustice manifest in our carceral system and encouraging them to engage in justice-oriented activism to reimagine the criminal legal system.

The Petey Greene Program is a national non-profit whose mission is to supplement education in correctional institutions by preparing volunteers, primarily college students, to provide free, quality tutoring and related programming to support the academic achievement of incarcerated people. We partner with universities and correctional facilities to place undergraduate and graduate students as well as community members in regular tutoring sessions.
