"With the unemployment rate at 9.5%, building marketable skills and accessing networking opportunities is not just a desire but a necessity for millions of Americans. Enter CommuniTeach, a cost-effective way to do both."

"CommuniTeach is a free service that allows people to connect in person, teach skills, learn and foster their community. Visit their website, create a profile, and search within your own network of friends, or find others within your community who are happy to help you on your path to enlightenment."


"For some reason, people tend to think that those who could teach some unique or rare skills are going to be located at the other end of the town they live in … but the truth is that a detailed search would reveal there are indeed individuals who could teach them all these skills they long for within their very same neighborhood. And letting anybody find that out is the aim of this website."

"Learn a skill set for free while sharing your talents with others in the community via CommuniTeach, a Web-based, skill-swapping network."

"CommuniTeach is the brain child of Pitt graduate student Ben Paul and Sarah Press, a management consultant in Chicago. Their idea is simple: Pair people who want to learn something with someone who can teach it, for free. No special requirements to teach or learn necessary. And organizers believe that removing money from the equation will help change how the public perceives learning."
