Saturday, Sept 23: The PA is also in need of volunteers for Project Accepted, one of the most valuable programs offered to our seniors. Sponsored by the Bronx Science Foundation, Project Accepted is a half day event where alumni help our seniors prepare for interviews, provide strategies for applying to college and more! It’s one of many unique opportunities our children have as Bronx Science students, and the PA is grateful for the tremendous support of our alumni. To do our part, we are seeking MANY volunteers to help feed our dedicated alumni interviewers and participating seniors, and to help sell merchandise! For event time and to sign up, click here.
