Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO)
Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) provides superior educational and career programs to young people from underserved and underrepresented communities to maximize their opportunities for college and career success.
Essay Intensive partners with Sponsors for Education Opportunity Scholars Program as college essay writing consultant. We train their college essay writing coaches to draw out the students’ best stories in the best words help their scholars write the essay of their lives.
SEO students are devoted to improving their circumstances–and those of their communities and families– as are the diverse staff who serve them. The “maximizing” of their mission is no joke, as SEO continues to grow relentlessly.

The TEAK Fellowship
The TEAK Fellowship helps talented New York City students from low-income families gain admission to and succeed at top high schools and colleges. Along with academic support, TEAK provides leadership training, exposure to the arts and outdoors, mentoring, career experience, and assistance with the high school and college application processes.
Essay Intensive partners with TEAK Fellowship to offer their seniors a “Write Your Way” workshop to launch their critical process of evaluating their life experiences, generating compelling content, and sweating out the stress with good muscular fun. We help develop their emerging essays as-needed.
Sara teaches their middle school students the art of personal narratives, living proof that by 7th grade, you can have as much wisdom and street-smarts as an old buddha. And since you didn’t ask (but everyone else did), “TEAK” is not an acronym– it’s just a ‘nym’!
The Good Brain Project
Athena Fliakos, the ambitious mastermind (mistress-mind?) behind The Good Brain Project (GBP), is our Partner, Period. GBP operates everywhere, like a weather system, and helps make institutions (educational and otherwise) their best versions of themselves; GBP’s philosophy and practice gives individual Talent and social justice initiatives a catalysmic Upper for the benefit of all of us.
Read much more about GBP and look out for their good brains wherever good brains are needed.
The Children's Aid Society
This year Essay Intensive was thrilled to offer a pro-bono “Introduction to the College Essay–Your Chance to Speak Your Mind!” workshop as part of The Children’s Aid Society’s college application kick-off. We received from the students (along with writing) smirks of appreciation, subtle teeth-sucking (it’s how your stamina gets tested by certain adolescents), and genuine insights. We can’t wait to work with Children’s Aid Society again and get those powerful stories out in the world to change lives (yep– we said it!). Haven’t heard of them? Where you been for the last 150++ years?
