Skillshare Everywhere!
We’re super excited to let you know that Skillshare is now open across the glorious U.S. of A.
Help Jumpstart Your City
1. List a class you can teach. Skillshare is a community marketplace where anyone — including you — can teach to their peers.
2. Let 5 people know that you want them to teach. There are incredibly knowledgeable people in your own community, and they need to know that you want them to share their skills!
Thank you again for joining the learning revolution and helping bring Skillshare to your city. Let’s increase the passion index together!
