Onsite
You might want to come and practice your passion daily such as having a glass blowing studio, an amateur radio base station or community radio, be it some media of art, or the trades, agriculture, communication, or foreign language. You might mentor your students one on one or in small groups, it may be daily, once a week, or seemingly random.

Just because you live across the country or across the globe does not prevent you from mentoring our students. Through technology be it by phone, texting, conference calls, skype, or podcasts.
