"This will be my first time! :-) I decided to take advantage of the opportunity now while I still have the summer off and no kids. I'm also ready to step out of my comfort zone to grow and learn new things."

Did you have a remote position prior to joining Venture with Impact? 

"No, but I am a teacher and we have summers off."

Describe what you will be doing for your volunteer experience and how it aligns with your current or previous professional experience.

"I will be teaching English and working with a team on the English curriculum. This aligns with my professional experiences because I am interested in possibly becoming a curriculum specialist. I will also be taking lessons to improve my Spanish."
