Youth from at-risk communities often lack access to the same opportunities as their peers in more affluent areas. Traditional academic or sports pursuits may not resonate with many youth, leaving them searching for alternative pathways to personal growth.
That's where our programs come in.
We introduce youth to positive outlets they may not otherwise encounter on their own, while also providing guidance steering them away from negative influences. By connecting at-risk youth with role models who share lived experiences, our programs help break mental barriers, build self-confidence, celebrate individuality, and nurture determination, creativity, and more.

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.
"Build and Sk8" is a program where kids blend hands-on assembly skills and learn the fundamentals of skateboarding. By assembling precut ramps and learning how to ride, kids develop skills such as: assembly and practical construction skills, STEM learning in action, teamwork and collaboration, personal development, and fundamental skateboarding skills.
This engaging and interactive short workshop is designed to teach youth about the vital role hydration plays in maintaining overall health and well-being. Participants learn the importance of hydration, recognizing dehydration, the science of hydration, and are able to mix their very own hydration drinks!
Mini Sk8 Skool is where we emerge ourselves into the community and spread the love of skateboarding to a larger audience. Typically partnered with community events, we set up a booth and provide ramps and skateboards for the community at large to try out!
