[Noisebridge-discuss] FW: looking for Skillshare Community Ambassadors

[Mitch Altman]

Skillshare is a for-profit company that brings together people who teach and people who want to learn.  I don't know much more about them than this, but some people I know think they are really cool people who got together to make it happen.
 
They're looking for people help bring together people who want to learn and people who want to teach.
 
More info, below, for those who might be interested.

> 
> We’re looking for go-getters and connectors to lead the learning 
> revolution in communities across the country. We can democratize 
> education if people from NYC to Omaha to Paris (Texas..) to Portland 
> (either one!) share their skills & knowledge with each other. We need 
> collective effort. We want you, Skillshare Community Ambassadors. You 
> represent this disruptive, nation-building movement, and your territory 
> is your city - go forth and conquer!
> 
> *The Skillshare Community Ambassador Program is an opportunity for 
> awesome folks like you to act as a liaison between Skillshare and your 
> cities. These ambassadors will: *
> 
> * HOST EVENTS: have a damn good time hosting shindigs and
> collaborative meetups for Skillshare teachers & students across
> your city
> * EDUCATE: fire up your fellow townspeople about the fact that our
> country has more student loan debt than credit card debt and let
> people know that there IS something they can do to democratize
> education and to bring back a focus on learning to the education
> system - yup, that’s where Skillshare comes in :)
> * CONNECT: bring together people who can learn from each other by 1)
> setting an example and teaching/attending classes and 2) getting
> out there and engaging in community events with potential teachers
> & students
> * WRITE: contribute ideas & tips & thoughts about education and
> Skillshare’s mission, whether via Twitter, Facebook, our blog, or
> a local media opportunity and reach out directly to local
> businesses and individuals about engaging with Skillshare
