Neighbors teaching neighbors -  it's that simple!

Welcome to Smithers Skill Swap - a free or low-cost skillshare program highlighting the Upper Kanawha Valley's unique and priceless skills. 

In Appalachia, knowledge was never meant to stay locked away. The Smithers Skill Swap and Jr. Skill Swap brings people together to share skills, stories, crafts, trades, and hard-earned wisdom through community-led workshops and events designed to strengthen local connection, confidence, and resilience.
