Culturally Responsive Tutor (CRT)

The Brooklyn Bridge Alliance for Youth (BBAY) is a joint powers agreement between the City of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Hennepin County, and the school districts of Osseo, Brooklyn Center, Robbinsdale and Anoka-Hennepin, Hennepin Technical College & North Hennepin Community College. 
 
The BBAY uses a collective impact framework for shared action. This means bringing a broad network of youth and adults together to act. At the BBAY we use all forms of qualitative and quantitative, visual, and other data to reach our mission: The BBAY is a backbone organization that coordinates the efforts of partners to build a system of high-quality, accessible, and fully resourced opportunities that address systemic disparities in graduation, pathways to college and career and youth safety and wellbeing.
 
The goal of the Culturally Responsive Tutoring program is to incubate a new model for culturally responsive tutoring.  Bring Culturally Responsive tutors to support students during the after-school time. These tutors will mirror the student population: race, language, religion, economic status. We will seek to strengthen existing programs and/or build new programs in partnership with schools.
