training on the weekends and in the Summer."

We find many businesses enjoy being asked by schools or community groups
(such as night adult classes or other businesses) to furnish qualified
personnel to present classes, workshops, or just speak to one class. They
feel recognized in their community roles, would be gaining company PR, and
the school could provide the location and computer labs--again combining
everyone's resources for everyone's benefit to utilizing the technology our
taxes pay for through Universal Service or whatever plan eventually serves
schools and libraries.
