We are Skateboards for Hope, a people-powered organization. Our aim is to give children the tools to break the cycle of poverty. We recycle, reuse and revolutionize skateboards and longboards to youth fostering community, collaboration and trust, across the globe. Our mission is to shred the taboos that surround the skateboarding culture and the social stigma it carries. Together, as a family, Skateboards For Hope wants to provide youth with an oasis of trust and freedom, to inspire them to become strong leaders in their community. Skateboards for Hope strives to promote the empowering message of: “be your own hero”. We also promote skateboarding and leadership programs as a tool for hope, and to create global sustainability.
