BRYC's doors open to nearly 600 Fellows across three campuses
For the first time in BRYC’s history, our 8th–12th-grade Fellowship comprises both out-of-school and in-school students.

On August 19, BRYC welcomed over 550 Fellows to the start of fall programs — 53% more than last year. BRYC’s 2024–2025 cohort represents 70+ schools in nine parishes; 70% are East Baton Rouge Parish School System (EBRPSS) students, including 58 seniors participating in an in-school college counseling pilot at Liberty, McKinley, Northeast, Scotlandville, and Tara. While BRYC’s cornerstone out-of-school programs were once limited to the capacity of a single campus, a significant investment from EBRPSS made it possible to open a second full-sized campus on Airline Highway, serving the southeast region. Airline is BRYC’s third location, joining the flagship Downtown campus and Iberville Parish satellite site, which opened fall 2023.
