Thank you to 826 Boston partners Northeastern University and WriteBoston, and to the 85 tireless volunteers and 65 motivated students who made Saturday's Boot Camp a grand success!

*75% of students who attended left with a first, second or third draft completed
*80% of students who attended reported that they made significant progress on their college essay!
Check out these student testimonials:
"I had a great time today. When I first came, I just had ideas but now I’m done. My tutor, Deb, was the best! Thank you."
"It was a good experience. My tutor really helped me pull out details I wasn't aware of and I was able to expand my essay."
"I gained confidence in my writing by letting someone read it. I'm also now motivated to finish my essay."
"I really appreciate what 826 Boston has provided for me today. I really enjoyed working with my tutor and talking with the other tutors. Again, thank you for this opportunity! I will be sure to keep in touch with this organization"
