PROVIDE A HOMESTAY
During our summer programs, students stay with a local family. Staying with a family gives students an immediate connection to the community and a home base. Students will be responsible for their own meals. Offering a place for a student to stay during this time can be a rewarding way to get directly involved with the program.
BE A MENTOR
Are you a writer, filmmaker, blogger, musician, or politician who would be willing to share your expertise with an idealistic student who is hungry to learn from you? Please contact us so that we can figure out how to include your talents in the curriculum.
