Barrio Logan College Institute

 

Basic Information

 

Description of the Organization

The Barrio Logan College Institute (BLCI) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide comprehensive programs that empower elementary through high school students in order to help them to develop the self-esteem, academic skills and support systems necessary to succeed in school as well as to broaden their experiences and prepare them for success. The student researcher will be asked to work with elementary or middle school students assisting them with their goals and academic needs, and develop integrative projects to further students' learning in particular subjects. On-going instruction will be provided to the researcher.

BLCI promotes the pursuit of higher education for students who are traditionally under-represented in college through after school programs that begin in the third grade. All of BLCI's students will be the first in their families to go to college.
