I wanted to share this job posting, as we're urgently in need of
instructors.   It can be a nice income for someone who is self employed and
has some flex in their day.  The work is challenging, but infinitely
rewarding and valuable.  The topic range is relatively open and might
include computer programming, arts, music, or poetry.  Some experience with
middle school youth is a plus, but the right temperament and personality
can work too.

Let me know if I can answer any questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Jeff
