What if I can’t get time off work for this?

Not everybody gets paid time off work, even for things as important as helping educate our community’s kids. But students are always students, even when they’re not in class. Consider looking for after-school programs, extracurricular groups, youth clubs, or even online remote opportunities to connect with teachers and students. Or, see if your workplace is willing to host a class for a field trip. You might be surprised at the answer!
