About SkillForage

SkillForage is a marketplace that connects local businesses with their communities through hands-on classes. A flower shop runs a Friday-night arranging session. A pizza joint hosts a dough-making class for six neighbors. An auto garage teaches basic car maintenance to first-time owners.

We give skilled craftspeople and business owners a simple way to open their doors, share what they know, and build lasting relationships with the people who live nearby. Students discover something real, return as customers, and stay connected to the craft and the place that taught them.

SkillForage is incorporated in the United States and headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA.
