SKATE RISING
TESTIMONIALS
“Skate Rising celebrates the amazing spirit of skateboarding by creating events that not only provide opportunity for the kids to learn and excel as friends and individuals but also to band together and feel the power of giving back as a community. It is an empowering experience on so many levels, we feel extremely lucky to be a part of it. Thank you for all you do Skate Rising!”

“I love skateboarding with my friends but I love serving my community even more! It makes me feel like I can really make a difference for someone who needs it and I get to have fun with my friends and learn skateboarding at the same time!”

“It’s important to us to be involved with like-minded organizations who focus on our youth and the community. Being a part of Skate Rising is an amazing opportunity for us to watch them passionately empower young girls. We love to offer our support, too, with our healthy juices and snacks because we know a healthy body and mind are key to growing and nurturing confidence and strength!”

“Skate Rising has been an amazing experience for our eight year old daughter. She was skating prior to joining the group, but it was joy on a whole different level to be with so many girls who are older, younger, and her own age all skateboarding together. She has taken the service aspect seriously as well both during the events and at other times. I see her making an effort to be kind and welcoming to kids who might be new to the skate park and towards children in other situations. I have been especially impressed when she remembers what she learned about kindness. I have also noticed when we are at other skate parks she has seen girls she knows from the Saturday events and will call out to them and skate with them. It gives her a unique confidence that I see both when she tries new skills on the skateboard and when she is doing other sports or at school.”

“We love supporting active communities, especially our youth. We believe healthy habits, both physically and mentally, start at a young age. We have witnessed the Skate Rising program, first hand, help young girls explore the true meaning of a healthy and happy life…from building friendships and trust within themselves, to giving back with graceful acts of kindness. They all love our superfoods snack, too. Overall awesome factor: 100%! ”
