The College Crusade of Rhode IslandThe College Crusade of Rhode Island is an innovative non-profit organization, founded in 1989, to reduce high dropout rates and increase educational and career success for disadvantaged youth. We reach out to students early and provide consistent support and guidance all the way to high school graduation – as well as higher education scholarships for those who qualify financially.
Each year, we serve approximately 4,000 Crusaders from Rhode Island’s most disadvantaged communities – Providence, Pawtucket, Central Falls, and Woonsocket. The overwhelming majority of our Crusaders are from low-income or minority families. Our services combine the steady, nurturing presence of caring adults with a rich array of programs that focus on academic enrichment, social-personal development, career awareness and exploration, and preparation for post-secondary education. Approximately 800 Crusaders are currently pursuing a higher education with the aid of our scholarships.
