Hey SDN,
I was at a community event and one of the booths stood out to me. There's an opportunity to visit a jail and tutor. At first I was skeptical, but it seems like a great thing to do for people who are trying to turn their life around. Basically, I'd tutor the basics for science and math to inmates pursuing a GED.
The drawback.. It's pretty far away. I'd have to drive to my campus (30 minutes) then take a free bus (1 hour) to tutor for an hour. It's something I'm willing to do, but is it worth the time?
The deciding factor is.. Should I be spending my time in a school club and doing community service.. Or do you think something like this will stand out?
P.s.: I just transferred to university a few weeks ago from a CC with no EC besides shadowing. I'm trying to get involved as I can this year.
