Trade School is a way for communities to share skills, learn from each other and come together. The school runs on barter, so workshop leaders can ask for things they need other than money — a pot of jam, a loaf of bread, seeds for planting etc. Trade Schools are starting up all over, and we’re excited about helping start one here.

No skill is too small for trade school and we’re sure you have something to offer, but we’d love to welcome you to join us just to learn a skill as well!
