About
We're building a place where young people try out different skills coding, design, photography, and more until they find the one that clicks. Then we help them build something real with it, and meet people who can help them go further
Impact
Too many talented young people never get a real chance to discover what they're good at. SkillForge gives them hands-on practice, a finished project to show for it, and a community of mentors and peers turning potential into momentum
Progress
This is currently a concept I'm developing shaped by my own experience building real projects (apps, media work, self-taught programming) with no formal support system. Next step is running a small pilot with a first group of participants
Team
I've lived the problem I'm solving. I taught myself to code, built real projects from scratch, and do media and content work all without formal mentorship. I know what it's like to want to grow and not know where to start, and I know what it takes

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
