Helping others. Helping youth grow and be better. Making differences within a community. Education Award. Seeing your students improve make everything worthwhile.

Cons

Super long hours for very little money. Everything is a constant change. Lack of communication gets in the way of service. Uniform pants. Inconsistency between different sites, Senior Corps Members, and Program/Project Managers.
