DMV: College Application Assistance and Resume Review w/ Upward Bound Students @ HU

About this event

YBAA DMV chapter in partnership with the Yale Club of Washington, DC is partnering with local DMV Upward Bound students for a community service event focused on college readiness. Alumni volunteers will work one-on-one and in small groups with high school students to strengthen their college applications and polish their resumes.

What volunteers will do:

Review and give feedback on college application essays and personal statements

Help students organize their activities, honors, and experience into clear, compelling resumes

Share practical advice on the application process, from school lists to financial aid to deadlines

Offer perspective from our own paths through college and beyond

Why it matters: Upward Bound serves first-generation and low-income students, and direct guidance from people who have navigated these systems can make a real difference in how students present themselves. This event is one way our chapter puts its commitment to community into practice.
