Youth from at-risk communities often face limited exposure to positive outlets and lack the same opportunities available to their peers in more affluent communities. Many of these young individuals may not resonate with traditional academic or sports pursuits, leaving them in need of alternative avenues for personal growth. That's where our programs come in. Through our programs, we aim to empower and support youth from at-risk communities by offering them positive role models who are dedicated to nurturing leadership, determination, creativity, and self-confidence. Ultimately, guiding young individuals away from potential negative influences.

Sk8 Skool is a long term program where we introduce skateboarding in a fun, positive, and engaging way. Punch cards with different tricks and progression levels are provided as skills advance. With Sk8 Skool, we focus on developing the hard skills of skateboarding as well as soft skills such as confidence, determination, creativity, and leadership. Public Sk8 Skool is the public version of the program hosted at different parks throughout Omaha.
Sk8 Kamp is a 1-5 day camp where we introduce skateboarding in a fun, creative, and interactive way. Youth get the opportunity to paint and design their very own skateboard, learn the functionality of the skateboard, participate in a workshop centered around skateboard culture, and learn basic skateboard tricks.
Our Demos are 30min - 1 hour events designed to ignite excitement and foster a genuine interest in skateboarding culture among youth. Ramps, music, and local skateboarders from the community are brought in to show off their skills, producing an exciting introduction into skateboarding. Skateboards, helmets, and protective equipment are provided to encourage kids to try out the sport.
Our partnered events serve as a means to connect with the community and introduce skateboarding to a broader audience. Whether it's setting up an SF information booth, hosting our fingerboard design workshop, or providing ramps and skateboards for people to try out- either way, we love engaging with the community and spreading the positivity of skateboarding and creativity.
