Sarah Ellington likes a challenge.  As a volunteer instructor for OASIS Connections computer classes in Marietta, Georgia, Sarah has taught several classes on computers, Internet and using email.

“Every class presents a new challenge,” she says. “With such a variety of skill levels coming into the class, and the different questions that arise, there are always new problems that must be solved.”

“I absolutely love helping people learn!" she adds. Meet Sarah.

Meet Jean Somlo. Jean taught art in public schools for more than 30 years and loved it. But she says her role as an instructor for art courses at OASIS in Syracuse NY is the best job she’s ever had.
