STOKED is a community of fearless leaders. Through mentorship, opportunity, and action sports culture, we empower urban youth to reach their fullest potential. Launched in 2015 by Steve Larosiliere and TV personality, Sal Masekela, STOKED holds passion and perseverance at its core. We believe that the strength and courage needed to learn action sports serves as a catalyst for larger life skills. STOKED has impacted over 4,000 youth since its inception, with flagship offices in New York City, Los Angeles, and now Chicago (launched in January, 2017). Recognized as a 2017 NY Community Trust Nonprofit Excellence Award recipient, the STOKED community celebrates a culture of individuals that live big lives, take risks and seize opportunities.
