Meet Our Mentors

Since 2008, Harvard undergraduates have offered engaging, interdisciplinary educational programs to community members through the Harvard Ed Portal in Allston. Our undergraduates work closely with HEP staff to create and deliver one-on-one and small group academic enrichment for youth in grades 1-8, and to support education in the arts, digital literacy, health and wellness, workforce development, and college and career preparedness for learners of all ages.
