Skateboarding Program for at-risk Youth

I am proud to share a new program starting this summer that revolves around skateboarding. I am working with the Boys and Girls Club of Glen Cove and S.T.R.O.N.G Youth Inc. The program is designed to allow at-risk youth to work side-by-side with experienced skateboard instructors. Skateboarding is a great activity for young people to take advantage of. When introduced in a positive light, skateboarding can be a great outlet for anyone to be physically and mentally active. With skateboarding, you do not need a team and are always working towards being better then you were the day before. Our skate program will help kids develop self-motivation, set goals, develop self-confidence, learn patience and much more. We are confident that our program will positively affect our youth and they will use the skills they develop in our program throughout life.

     But we need funding! YOU have the opportunity to help at-risk in youth in our local community today. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. All donations will go toward purchasing safety equipment, skateboard ramps and skateboards. If you can’t help out financially perhaps you may be able to help out by donating equipment. Contact [email redacted] if you have any safety equipment or skateboards you would like to donate. Finally if you can’t donate, please share this post! Someone you know may wish to donate. If you have any questions you can contact the Boys and Girls Blub and or S.T.R.O.N.G Youth Inc, at:
