Announcing 826 Boston's May volunteer of the month,
Perrine Marcenac! Perrine shares her time with 826 Boston most frequently as a stellar field trip volunteer (she poses here among many field trip titles). Hailing from France by way of the great Midwestern States of America, Perrine landed in Boston in 2005 to study biology at Boston University. After spending last year studying the magical science of alchemy in the lost Parisian laboratories of Nicolas Flamel, she has now returned to Boston to start a PhD in the Biological Sciences of Public Health at Harvard University.
She says,
"I love volunteering at 826 Boston because whether I'm tutoring or helping out with field trips, I feel like the kids teach me more than I teach them. I am always awed and humbled by their ability to learn, think, and express themselves creatively."
Thank you, Perrine, for all that you do! Thank you,
Harvard Book Store, for sponsoring our Volunteer of the Month program!

We are proud to announce that 826 Boston's April volunteer of the month is
Alex Greenberg. When Alex is not a superstar field trip volunteer, he works at a pharmaceutical startup in Boston even though he is not a doctor. In fact, he was an English major at Boston University. He enjoys reading and writing, cult movies, and
crossword puzzles. When this gets boring, or he has the urge to leave the house, he also performs improv comedy and other funny things around town. He ties his shoes using the bunny ears method.
He says,
"When students impress a gruff recluse by using their imaginations, they become more comfortable displaying their creativity. Maybe one day when a former student pitches her manuscript to an agent or editor she'll think, 'Hey, I made it past Klobbersteen, Archibald & Spangler when I was in third grade. These Farrar, Strauss & Giroux people can't be half as bone-rattling as that."
Thank you, Alex, for all that you do! Thank you,
Harvard Book Store, for sponsoring our Volunteer of the Month program!
