About the Bard Prison Initiative
Formed in 1999 to address the mass incarceration crisis, the Bard Prison Initiative (BPI) defies expectations of who college is for and where it might lead. For twenty years, BPI has reimagined and redefined questions of availability, affordability, and expectations typically associated with college in America. One of the most rigorous and effective college-in-prison programs in the country, BPI is now extending its radical intervention in educational inequity outside of prison through the Bard Microcolleges and BardBac.
About the Position
The Tutor will join BPI’s New York City team to tutor youth in a juvenile detention center in Brooklyn, NY. The position is a one-year position with a possibility for a 2-year extension depending on grant renewal. The Tutor position will start on July 1, 2023 and end on June 30th, 2024. The Tutor reports to the Assistant Director of Youth and Alumni Learning Development.
The Tutor will join a team of student-centered, results-driven individuals implementing rigorous and robust education and career development training for students aged 14 to 21 years old.

Using original curriculum and a student-centered approach to teaching and learning, the Tutor will play an integral part in supporting the students’ journeys to college and/or career and beyond. The Tutor will promote a depth of understanding and skill acquisition by serving as a coach and facilitator of learning to other tutors and to the students.
