Hey maybe offer to teach them and get a little group started.
It's how I got started. I met a player who was into it, I went to his classes, then he put the idea that we could form a group to play gigs here and there. He even offered to teach those in the group for free if we were dedicated to learning with the aim of playing out.
It was a great incentive to learn and after a couple years we were playing at all sorts of festivals and other gigs. Great fun and good memories and I made some lasting friendships from that time.
Keep getting to know them, jam with them and see if you can encourage them.
