  • The desire and ability to connect cross-culturally
  • The willingness to teach small grounds  (usually 12 or fewer students)
  • From those who are looking for a few extras gigs during the year to those who want to be intimately involved every month...and those who are comfortable with the in-between
  • Quirkiness is a plus!
