Beyond Remediation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that exists to address equity issues of access and success for adult low-income students, African-American students, and other adult students of color, specifically those who have placed into developmental English as a pre- or co-requisite to college-level coursework. We explicitly seek to serve groups traditionally underrepresented in h
igher education, as well as potentially first-generation college students. Our primary objective is not only to empower such students with the 21st century knowledge and skills they need to get into college, but also to improve the outcomes and completion rates for such students as they learn to navigate college and life, leaving as graduates equipped to flourish in their communities and in a democratic society at large. As such, our culturally-affirming, faith-based programs will seek to better prepare potential traditional-age college students, while affirming and accelerating the knowledge and skill acquisition of nontraditional students who desire to take college-level courses but have placed into remedial education. For both populations, the overarching goal is to avoid remediation, access higher education, and graduate with a marketable certificate or degree within a reasonable time frame.
