Basic Information
Description of the Organization and Responsibilities
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 to develop the self-esteem, academic skills, and support systems necessary to succeed in school, and broaden their experiences to prepare them for success. 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. HDP 191 students will be asked to work with elementary, middle, or high school students to assist them with their goals and academic needs, and develop integrative projects to further students' learning in particular subjects. On-going instruction will be provided.
