Volunteering in Rochester

This past Friday, I had the privilege of visiting a third grade class at School #41 in Rochester. It was the most rewarding volunteering experience I have ever been a part of. It was put on by Junior Achievement in cooperation with RIT's Saunders College of Business. The program allows individuals from the community to go in and teach a class for a day. If you get a chance to get involved with this program, I highly recommend that you do so.

Additionally, Rochester Cares is a great local organization with a wide array of activities. The City of Rochester School District has additional opportunities. So for those that are looking to get involved in Rochester, there are a number of great ways to do so. My experiences in the Rochester City School District have been very positive. While challenges exist, it's definitely not the picture that many stereotype it to be. I recommend that you get involved and see for yourself.
