Project College NYC

If you're looking for a cool volunteer opportunity for the year, Project College is a great non-profit to work with! We're looking for volunteers to be Workshop Leaders, teaching financial aid workshops to high school students to help them get the financial aid necessary to attend college. Volunteers are trained on the FAFSA and TAP so no prior information or experience with financial aid is necessary. Sign up and come to our training session this Monday, October 10th at 12pm in the Leslie eLab! Sign up at https://goo.gl/forms/jHFb47WpnTMk2Dih2!
