Mission Statement

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

About

BRYC's Vision is to provide our students with the best college-preparatory, college persistence, and career placement services money can buy — for free — so they can maximize the economic value of their degrees, build the lives they want, and help future generations do the same. We believe that:

There are no "at-risk" youth, only youth who live in environments that have systemically been made risky.

The so-called "achievement gap" is a symptom of profound resource and opportunity gaps.

College graduation is not the end in itself, but rather a vehicle to personal and professional opportunity.
