UOG AmeriCorps Success Center Announces the Launch of PREP YOURSELF!

The University of Guam AmeriCorps Success Center proudly announces the launch of PREP YOURSELF, a free SAT tutoring and college counseling workshop for high school juniors and seniors on Guam.

The six-week workshop aims to provide local students with test-taking strategies and tips for the Math, Writing and Critical Reading sections of the SAT, the standardized test used by most colleges and universities to determine admission. The workshop will also feature guest lectures on various aspects of the college admissions process.

PREP YOURSELF will take place on Wednesday evenings, from March 25 to April 29, at the University of Guam cafeteria. The timing of the workshop is designed to prepare students for the May 2 testing date, but all high school juniors and seniors are invited to participate. While the workshop will be provided free of charge, participants are asked to make a $10 donation for program supplies. Eligible students can request a registration form by e-mailing prepyourselfguam@gmail.com.

PREP YOURSELF was conceived and will be led by AmeriCorps team member Jessica Marati, a 2008 graduate of Princeton University, along with other members of the UOG Success Center. For more information on PREP YOURSELF, or to volunteer your services or time, please contact Jessica by e-mail at jessica.marati@gmail.com, or contact Claudia Taitano by telephone at 735-2234 or by e-mail at yestaitano@gmail.com.

The AmeriCorps Program is made possible through a generous grant received from the Corporation on National & Community Service through the Guam Department of Labor and ServeGuam! Commission, Grant Number 05AFHGU0010010.
