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.
What if I'm near a major city but not in NYC or SF, how can I volunteer or get a chapter started near me?
Hi imglorp - send me an email at becca@scripted.org . We're considering growing to more regions, and would love to hear from folks who are interested in volunteering outside of NYC or SF. In the meantime, I may also be able to recommend some other orgs that need volunteers near you.
