You do not necessarily need to be a writer\, but good reading and editing skills are a plus. The volunteers sit in the high school library\, and students come in with drafts in all stages. Sometimes they just want to talk about what they’d like to write about\, and that helps get them started. It is very rewarding work. The schedule is flexible. \nTraining for this year’s college essay season will be on Wednesday\, September 11 at 7pm at the Gloucester Writers Center. Let JoeAnn Hart know if you’d like to be part of the program this year\, and if you are able to make the training session.

With a background in nature and conservation\, interwoven with music\, she traveled throughout the world and lived for six years in Hiroshima\, Japan. She settled in Gloucester with her jazz drummer and sailor husband\, Al.
