We are looking for volunteer College Essay Coaches to virtually help 1-3 high school seniors perfect their college applications by providing feedback on their personal statement and any supplemental essays.

This opportunity is a great way to build a relationship with an amazing young person and help them navigate a process that can feel really overwhelming.
