Pros

While serving as a volunteer provides no compensation, the excitement and joy of working with kids and other leaders is rewarding enough. My job is basically to be a friend. Friendships are awesome. It's how you build great memories.

Cons

No pay as a volunteer (but that's not why we work here anyway). As far as a résumé goes, it's not the most useful "experience".
