Summary

This past February, I spent a week teaching 5th graders who had just joined San Pedro Elementary and only spoke Spanish. While I had originally planned to volunteer elsewhere, helping there was one of my favorite experiences and taught me so much. I'd love to be able to give back to the Mill Valley community, and gain valuable work experience simultaneously.
