Volunteer teaching to underprivileged people

I recently posted on a recent thread about charity that I would like to volunteer my time teaching some class in the future where I could teach whatever I want in order to make at-risk kids responsible contributing members of society.

Now supposing your volunteer job is to make a group of people self-sufficient, resourceful, upright individuals and:

a) you got a big inheritence from your late uncle, so you can volunteer teaching all day if you like.
b) since you are volunteering, you are not bound by any school administration rules or teaching plans, so basically you can teach whatever you want.
c) your students are assigned to you for a year for one hour a day (say once or three times a week).

Whom would you teach (kids in your town, women, immigrants, people in the developing world)?
What books would you make everyone read?
what movies would you make them watch?
What philosophies or world view would you try to instill to your students?
What skills would you teach?
What would be some class activities?

Remember you can teach whatever you like in any manner you like. Your job is simply to be a life changing influence on these students and to teach these students better themselves.

I have done alot of teaching, lectured at the School of Dental Hygiene, was a clinical instructor, and everyday, I teach my patients the importance of good oral hygiene.
Spent time on a Nothern Indian Resevation in Canada, teaching the kids there and working with them.

Am currently rethinking my career and thinking of getting my Bachlor of Ed in Chemistry and Biology for the middleschools. Would be something different.

If you're making people do anything, then you're not teaching. I would teach something along the lines of Junior Achievement.

Okay,
maybe the word "making" was perhaps too strong,
I guess I am trying to say what books, movies, etc would
be part of the curriculum of your class (and you can teach many subjects in this class).

title got changed to Volunteer, so, I should edit my previous post,

I spent many years volunteering as a Girl Guide leader and a Hockey coach for little girls. Wasn't really underprivileged volunteering, but was putting something back into my community.

I would teach
1) self-respect
2) respect for others
3) the dangers of over-PC-ness
Books: The Complete Works of Jane Austen
