Blue Engine

Blue Engine is a non-profit organization that partners with public high schools serving low-income communities to increase academic rigor and prepare students for the rigors of higher education. This partnership helps students develop college-ready skills in mathematics, literacy, and metacognition. The organization is backed by performance-based social impact funders, including AmeriCorps, Robin Hood Foundation, Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, New Schools Venture Fund, Tiger Foundation, Heckscher Foundation for Children, Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, PropelNext Initiative, Echoing Green, and Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation. The organization recruits, trains, and supports Blue Engine Teaching Assistants (BETAs), and recent college graduates who devote 1 to 2 years in high schools as an entry point into careers in teaching and social change leadership. Blue Engine was founded in January 2009 and is based in New York, United States.
