For the past 2 years Stoked has had the fortune of having a 100% graduation rate for kids who participated in our program for over a year. This year again, all of our seniors are graduating in NY & LA! Stoked is working with more high school freshman and sophomores and our goal is to keep that 100% graduation rate. Here’s a picture of three of our graduates: Jose, mentoring pair Eitan & Hector P., and Roberto in LA. Congrats to these graduates and all of our graduates! We wish you luck in the future and with your post high school plans. This summer, we’ll be highlighting what our past graduates & alumni are up to and what their summer plans are. It’s pictures like this that keep us motivated.

We’re thrilled to announce that the Brooklyn Community Foundation is giving Stoked a $10,000 grant! The funds will be used to enhance and support our growing mentoring program in Brooklyn. This is Stoked’s first community foundation grant in our 5 year history. The funding comes right on time as we’re actively seeking to grow our Brooklyn program. In addition to our Brooklyn School of Collaborative Studies program and our Prospect Park program, we just recently added a program at City Polytechnic High School last week. Looks like more Brooklyn youth will experience action sports youth development!

We’re stoked to be working with City Poly High School in Downtown Brooklyn next Fall. The very promising and innovative school has curriculum based on technology, science, architecture, and engineering. It is housed in the Westinghouse High School Campus on Tillary street. This is the same school building where Notorious B.I.G, Busta Rhymes, and Jay Z once attended. These students will be participating in our Stoked Plus: Skateboard Build after school program while learning valuable life skills. Once students complete the program, then will participate in our action sports programs and get a mentor. The administration excited for us to help develop an environment of teamwork, success, and pride throughout the school. Look for more things to come from them in the future!
