Run a workshop. Ask for help. Trade what you're good at. From pruning fruit trees to filing tax returns — every skill has a home here.
How it works
Post what you can do or what you need help with. Browse by skill, location, and date. Then just show up and make it happen.
Post what you can teach, or what you're hoping to learn. Pick the format — a one-off workshop, a working bee, or ongoing mentoring. You choose the pace.
Browse listings by skill, location, and date. See who's offering or asking nearby, and reach out with a message to sort the details.
Meet up, share what you know, and rate each other afterwards. Every exchange builds trust — and the more people share, the richer the whole community becomes.
Why it matters
Retired tradespeople, experienced farmers, professionals between careers, artists, cooks, builders, gardeners. Decades of practical knowledge that's never been listed anywhere — it's just lived, quietly, in people's heads and hands.
ShareMySkills makes that knowledge visible and accessible. Not to sell it. Just to share it. It strengthens the community in a way that no app or service can buy: real people, real skills, real relationships built around doing something together.
Helps a single mum fix her back fence. She brings lunch. He brings the know-how. Both leave richer for it.
Six neighbours show up on a Saturday morning. Three of them didn't know each other before.
A local artist needs a website. An hour of help, no money changes hands, and a real friendship starts.
One morning a month. Helps people who can't afford $300 an hour. Stays sharp. Stays connected.
Formats
ShareMySkills supports any kind of exchange — formal or casual, one-off or ongoing, hands-on or online.
Show up, work together on a project, share a meal. The oldest form of community there is.
Teach a small group something practical. Sourdough, chainsaw safety, natural dyeing, basic plumbing.
Offer your time regularly to help someone learn something over weeks or months.
Not just offers — anyone can post what they're looking for help with. Ask and someone will answer.
"The most resilient communities aren't the ones with the most resources. They're the ones where people know each other well enough to ask for help."
