You know things other people need to learn so why not share? Give a gift of knowledge.

As a business owner, you can share your expertise by creating and posting online content
• Articles
• Blog posts
• E-books
• Info products
• Newsletters
• Recordings
• Social media updates
• Web pages

As a parent or teacher, you can give the next generation the gift of knowledge by teaching them how to
• Read
• Find answers
• Get a library card
• Write letters
• Get emergency help
• Schedule doctor appointments and show up with all the needed paperwork
• Balance a checkbook
• Live on a budget without maxing out the credit cards
• Request a free credit report
• Perform routine maintenance on a car
• Navigate your city’s mass transit system
• Read labels and shop for nutritious food
• Prepare a balanced meal from scratch (despite what it says on my husband’s favorite mug, the four food groups are NOT 1. Chocolate 2. Chocolate 3. Chocolate 4. Hot
chocolate)
• Wash, dry, and maybe even iron clothes so they look
presentable for work
• Clean up before you visit their college room or their first apartment

As a student who has grown up with technology at your
fingertips, you can teach older people how to
• Use the latest tools and gadgets
• Find technology that meets their needs
• Ask the right questions
