Cognitive Exchange looks good on college apps and provides you with the satisfaction of helping students. Teachers can also start a club at their school and provide the opportunity for your fellow students to get teaching experience and volunteer hours.

This provides you with the satisfaction of helping these students and making this world a better place by slowly reducing illiteracy.
