Three steps from screen time to skill time.
Heirloom is intentionally simple. Find a mentor, meet in person, pay by the hour. Below is the full flow — for families looking for a mentor, and for older adults who want to teach.
Browse vetted mentors
Search by skill, location, and child's age. Every mentor is background-checked and reference-verified.
Book an in-person session
Pick a time that works. A parent or guardian attends every session — no exceptions. Sessions happen at a mentor's home studio, your kitchen, or a community space.
Pay fairly, learn deeply
Mentors earn $25–$60 per hour. You only pay after the session, and your child walks away with a real skill.
Find a mentor your child will love.
