Pros
Very exciting and meaningful work. I worked as a guide for the Red Cross virtual reality experience in which groups of students, mostly elementary and middle school children but also college students would come visit the Danish Red Cross headquarters in Copenhagen Denmark and learn about Red Cross intiatives through interactive virtual reality workshops. The experience covered topics from natural disaster relief, aid in war and conflict, domestic abuse intervention and first aid. The main goal of the experience was to teach children about the state of the world, what red cross does to improve peoples lives and inspire people to pay it forward and think about what they can do to make the world a better place. The staff was also very friendly and it was a blast helping out.
Cons
Work is volunteer so there is no pay.
