College Essay & Application Prep
Small-group workshops on personal statements, supplemental essays, and assembling an application that reflects the student rather than the template.
Get involved
Bring your hands, your hours, or your kitchen table.
Most of what BOSHAT does is run by people who have day jobs. Here is what is coming up, and how to join it.
Youth activities
For students, and the people helping them.
Test prep, application help, and study strategy — free, and aimed squarely at first-generation students who are figuring out the process without a map.
Upcoming
No youth sessions are scheduled right now. New ACT prep and college application dates are usually announced a few weeks ahead — email us to be told first.
Planned — dates to be announced
School Success Strategies
Study systems, note-taking, and time management for students entering high school or their first year of college.

Volunteer
Tell us what you are good at.
We will match you to something real rather than adding you to a list. Tutors, drivers, packers, translators, and people who are good at spreadsheets are all short.
Prefer email? Write to boshat.org@gmail.com.
Get involved
Can’t make an event? Fund one.
A clinic day, a scholarship term, or a pallet of canned food — each has a number attached, and we will tell you what yours paid for.
