Mission

BRYC prepares high-achieving, under-resourced high school students to enter, excel in, and graduate from college so they can become full participants in society.

Vision

BRYC provides Fellows the best college-preparatory and persistence resources money can buy — for free — so they can maximize the value of their degrees, build wealth, and interrupt generational poverty cycles.

History

BRYC was founded in 2009 when a group of high school teachers, led by Daniel Kahn and Sam Joel, recognized that even their highest-achieving students lacked the resources they needed to realize college success.

Growth

In 2021-2022 BRYC will serve 300 high schoolers with an eye toward our 2024-2025 goal of having 500 Fellows annually at our downtown Baton Rouge campus. We also will support 300 College Fellows across 50 schools, augmenting BRYC’s college persistence and career services. Simultaneously BRYC is exploring ways to make our services available to considerably more youth across Baton Rouge and Louisiana. We are incredibly proud that our 438 alumni persist in college at a rate of 75 percent, and we are committed to sustainable growth that preserves the integrity of BRYC’s impact.
