Make a Difference
BRG’s Leg Up Program is an accessible educational and mentorship program intended to inspire lifelong learners and enhance participants’ opportunities for advanced degree programs.
Our commitment to racial, ethnic, and gender equality extends the idea of Intelligence That Works to the underserved youth in our communities.
Program Structure
Each year, BRG partners with local high schools and organizations to identify high-potential students in ninth through twelfth grades. The program includes a weeklong summer session that consists of a welcome event, four consecutive days on site, and various class offerings. The program offers educational sessions, skill-building sessions, networking opportunities, and electives.
Upon completion of the program, students continue to participate in events including college admission panels, local day trips, and informational sessions with our experts.

Education is a powerful way to improve one’s circumstances. A key component of the program is the increased exposure to business, economic, and related industries that students receive through mentoring and training, from both BRG experts and leading professionals in the community.
