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.

Pros

You do very meaningful work and the staff truly care about you and what you are doing.

Cons

School placements can be quite far from where you live, and the days are long (7:30 am - 5 pm). Often is exhausting, but you stay for the kids.
