Skateboarding Clinic with CHILL
The Chill Foundation provides positive youth development programming, where boardsports become a vehicle for empowerment. Revolving around a core value-driven curriculum, Chill’s programs consist of experiential learning activities, reflection, and discussion, paired with skateboarding lessons. Chill’s six core values provide youth with a foundation for learning and growth, enhanced by on-board progression. New skills gained through boardsports and core-value exploration are directly applied to everyday life, challenging youth to step out of their comfort zone – both on and off their board.
