How it started

History

Started in 1998 by a group of college-age students in Westchester, NY the organization grew from a local program to Harvard University. In 2000, the College Board gave LGR money to replicate their program in NYC schools. In 2007, Goldman Sachs gave the New England LGR programs $400,000 to help expand programs. This money accounted for one-third of the budget for these programs. As of 2007, LGR ran 40 programs throughout the Northeast. The program has a partnership with Teach for America. It has expanded to serve teenagers from north-central Maine at Colby College to Pennsylvania at Temple University.
