Pros

At the end of the day, what matters is the students. They are what will keep you going. There will be hard days and there will be amazing days. I remember the amazing days with my students a lot more than the hard ones. Very diverse staff across the board.

Cons

Lots of work for little pay (which is to be expected with Americorps, but you are still below poverty level) Depending on your site, the school may view SAGA as a "babysitter" where they can place kids they don't really want to deal with. This isn't to say the students are bad. Rather, it can be frustrating to see your students not get the right resources that they need.
