Summer is a great time to learn a new self-sufficiency or survival skill. These skills can build confidence and satisfaction. New skills may provide income and stretch your budget as you save on the cost of these services. Skills may be traded with others. Youth and children can be included in this challenge. An opportunity to learn new skills can be given as a gift for a birthday or other celebrations. Developing a new skill can be one of their goals for the Children and Youth Program or a Family Home Evening activity. Self-sufficiency skills can be a gift you can give to others as you serve and share your new skill.
