Highly recommend doing this! I volunteered in New York last year and had a great time. Wrote about my experience here: https://www.coryetzkorn.com/blog/volunteering-with-scripted/

I strongly recommend volunteering. I taught in Oakland in the '17-'18 school year. It was a great experience and I will gladly do it again as soon as I have a more flexible job. I was anxious about the known and unknown challenges, but that faded quickly after the first couple classes. I learned a lot from this experience, and I'm a better person for it.

I've done this for four years and it has been a very rewarding experience. Happy to answer any questions folks might have.
