I not-so-recently (remember, I’m working on writing in a timely manner) finished a stint volunteering with the educational charity Citizen Schools, which matches volunteers with classrooms in low income communities to offer middle school students contact and training with professionals, hopefully changing their career trajectory. A choice framing quote by a student is “I didn’t know I could be good at science”. It’s a solid, illuminating volunteer experience, especially if you’ve only seen the American education system from the perspective of a student.
