Hi! Cory here. I wrote this post :)

Highly recommend doing this! I volunteered in New York last year and had a great time. If you're even a tiny bit interested, be sure to reach out to a ScriptEd coordinator. They can help accomodate your work schedule, find a convenient school location, and make volunteering work for you!

Feel free to reply if you have any questions about the experience.

I taught in San Francisco last year! It was a really fun experience and I recommend it to anyone!

I've been volunteering with ScriptEd for 4 years now, and it's an incredibly motivating experience! I just got to write my first college rec last year (for a prior student who will be the first in their family to go to college). So powerful to see the kids you teach go on to do great things.

Also happy to answer questions if anyone has them!

I've been working with ScriptEd in San Francisco and it's also been awesome! It's really special to be a part of their program and see the impact they're having on local kids and community.
