How much of a commitment does this require?

There’s no standard time commitment required for activities organized through CommunityShare. The needs of each teacher and classroom are different. Some need a one-time guest speaker for an hour, others could benefit from 4-6 hours on a larger one-time project, or several hours a week on a semester-long program. All we ask is that when you commit to a plan with a teacher, you do everything in your power to stick with that commitment. A lot of energy goes into lesson planning, and teachers (and their students) are depending on you to follow through on your side of the deal.
