Connect offers free and completely remote college application essay tutoring to students from predominantly low-income backgrounds.
- Connect Tutors has already reached hundreds of students in Providence Public Schools (RI) and Lowell Public Schools (MA)
- Given the growing number of districts and high schools we serve, Connect is in need of volunteers with strong writing skills, an understanding of college admissions process, and a commitment to Connect’s mission.
- Too often in the past, access to decent college application tutoring has been possible only for students from higher-income families, so Connect is an attempt to begin to equalize that access.
