You can share your skills by mentoring junior developers in your local area. I have observed that there is an oversupply of junior developers who are self-taught or have credentials but have not had their first job yet. I started a local tech meet up group centered around this problem, one of our goals is to facilitate skill cross-sharing sharing between senior devs and junior ones but also between devs of different stacks.

We've had some success in our small city (regular attendance, over 200 members so far) and we are trying to replicate it in other towns. If you're interested in setting up something similar, we can coordinate efforts. please reach out to me here: temekuwebtechies@gmail.com
