Learn
Develop current technology and cybersecurity skills through online learning, shared knowledge, mentoring and practical experience.
LOYALTY • EXPERIENCE • OPPORTUNITY • COMMUNITY
People Helping People
Through Technology.
A community being built around a simple belief: people and experience still have value.
Skeezix.org is developing a place where displaced workers can learn new skills, collaborate with others and put their experience back to work—while helping small organizations and nonprofits solve real IT and cybersecurity problems.

WHY SKEEZIX
Experience doesn't become worthless when a job disappears.
Layoffs and technological change can separate capable people from the work they know how to do. Skeezix is being developed around a different idea: preserve that experience, add new skills, connect people with one another and create opportunities to contribute again.
Collaborate
Bring together experienced professionals, learners, mentors and volunteers who can teach one another and work as teams.
Contribute
Turn knowledge into useful work by helping organizations with real technology, security, infrastructure and operational challenges.
Rebuild
Help displaced workers restore confidence, demonstrate current skills, develop relationships and create pathways back to meaningful work.
ONE COMMUNITY • TWO NEEDS
People who can help. Organizations that need help.
Skeezix is intended to connect two groups that can create value for one another: people with knowledge and experience who want to contribute, and small organizations and nonprofits that need technology assistance but may not have the resources of a large enterprise.
I Can Help
For displaced workers, experienced professionals, mentors and volunteers
Bring what you already know. Learn what has changed. Share experience with others. Join collaborative projects. Build new skills while doing something useful.
Experience has value.
You may come to learn something and discover that someone else desperately needs what you already know.
We Need Help
For small organizations and nonprofits
Technology and cybersecurity problems do not disappear because an organization has limited resources. Skeezix aims to bring practical knowledge and willing people together to help address genuine needs.
Practical assistance.
IT • Cybersecurity • Cloud • Infrastructure • Documentation • Training • Technology planning
I teach you what I know. You teach me what you know. Together, we use what we know to help somebody else.
OUR PRINCIPLE
Loyalty to people.
The Skeezix mascot represents something deliberately human in a technology organization: loyalty. Technology changes. Companies reorganize. Jobs disappear. A community can still choose to stand by people, respect experience and help one another move forward.
People matter. Experience matters. Purpose matters.
