By teaching these youth how to skate, we are strengthening a light inside of them to be fearless and tackle their vulnerability in all aspects of life. Skateboarding breaks down the typical gender boundaries that girls have instilled in their brains from birth. It teaches them that they can do anything regardless of their gender. We teach our mentees to support one another, be thoughtful and most of all be kind. We believe that pairing younger generations with older mentors , we are giving them a positive role model to aspire to be.
