Pros

Positive results by improving the community. Being able to network with large corporations, city officials, and celebs. Scholarship after completing required hours. Free T/bus passes.

Cons

Low low pay (granted it's volunteer work, it's not enough to pay for rent and food!) Wearing the same clothes everyday.

connecting with the students will be one of the most rewarding takeways.
