Nearly 600 people have attended SkillSwap classes since the program launched in June 2014. We have hosted almost 80 classes so far on topics ranging from beekeeping to public speaking to bicycle maintenance and roadside repair.

This barter-based education series features workshops on a wide variety of topics in a relaxed and inspiring environment (155!).

The “swap” part? No money changes hands. The instructors provide a list of items or services they will accept in exchange for class participation.

• Monetary donation to any of the following organizations: York City Little League, York YMCA or Alex’s Lemonade Stand.
• Commitment to volunteer for Junior Achievement of South Central PA in some form or upcoming Rotary Club of York event (Ask Phil for details).
