Our 1-year comprehensive program utilizes the core board sports (snowboarding, skateboarding, and surfing) combined with mentoring to give youth necessary life skills to succeed in life.

Both mentors and mentees are screened, trained and matched based on personality, geography and similar interests. Once matched, all mentoring pairs agree to meet a minimum of 4 hours a month, conduct a certain number of sport dates, and attend group activities for 1 year. Throughout the year, our program managers have ongoing trainings and coach each pair to ensure that they are performing optimally.

Our program operates on a seasonal basis. Most mentoring pairs are matched in the spring/summer. They start with Skate Mentor, move on to Surf Mentor, and end their year with Snow Mentor in the Winter of the following year.

Our whole mission is to develop a successful teen who:

• Is happy & healthy in their life
• Has positive relationships with others
• Can achieve what he/she sets their mind to
• Gives back to their community
• Is a model for others to follow

The following activities and life skills are accomplished through the 1- year program:

Skate Mentor (Skateboard Mentoring)

• Communication & networking skills, positive social habits, and community service.

Surf Mentor (Surf Mentoring)

• Respect, trust, understanding and tools to overcome fear and build trust.

Snow Mentor (Snowboard Mentoring)

• Life skills such as goal setting, overcoming obstacles, and resiliency. Falling and getting back up is the lesson learned.

In addition to the above, we have also achieved the following programs:

Stoked Club

• An after school club that takes place at the Stoked offices to reinforce the life skills learned during the program. Youth are taught presentation skills, career exposure, college prep workshops and more.

Stoked Sistas

• A workshop designed to get female Stoked participants to increase self-esteem & self-confidence through action sports.

Red Bull Action Sports Photography

• Mentoring pairs are mentored by pro surf & skate photographers during our surf and skate programs. High-end equipment is donated for this project. Their work is then displayed in their own show.
