Great thought. Language teaching is not something that should either be done by an unskilled volunteer in a formal classroom setting (high school or otherwise), nor should it be done for free by a qualified teacher. But a club is a great informal setting where d/Deaf people could come and share their knowledge without concern about pay or teaching credentials. (Of course it would be nice to provide refreshments or possibly a small honorarium for gas money or the like.)
