Call for Volunteer Tutors: Dream Project Admissions Workshop Weekend - FULL

Help less advantaged high school seniors pursue their college dreams with assistance on their college application essays.  Meet some amazing students with amazing stories to tell!

 

Please join us in helping first-generation and low-income high schoolers achieve their college aspirations.  The University of Washington Dream Project is seeking writing tutors to assist up to 700 students with their college applications, including personal statements and resumes.  Many of these students will be the first in their families to attend college and are unlikely to receive assistance elsewhere.  Each student has an interesting story to tell, and you will have an opportunity to work one-on-one with several students. If you'd like to connect with fellow Harvard alums beforehand, join us us for brunch at Portage Bay Cafe (space is limited, see RSVP instructions below).
