Skate Rising
A youth program that teaches confidence through skateboarding and compassion through community service. The program offers two free clinics per month that consist of a community service project followed by a skateboarding clinic taught by professionals. Each session highlights a different need in the community and designs a service project to support that need. Projects range from making friendship bracelets for victims of bullying to making activity kits for patients in the children's hospital.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
EXPOSURE Skate creates an atmosphere for success through local, national and international events. These events bring powerful and talented women and girls from all over the world together to share their passions with the youth. These world-class female athletes serve as teachers and role models who share life-changing experiences with local communities. By creating a space in which elite female athletes demonstrate their talents, girls receive first-hand experience of what is possible and attainable for them.
The culminations of the world’s best female athletes also draw many levels of media to come cover EXPOSURE events. The high level of media exposure helps promote the representation of females as strong, capable athletes and leaders.
The proceeds from these events are donated to survivors of domestic abuse. By announcing this as the key beneficiaries of the event, we not only support the cause financially but we help to spread awareness of the issue.
