Chill inspires young people through boardsports and builds a more equitable outdoor community.Chill's core youth development program revolves around a six-week curriculum that uses board sports to teach life skills and increase self-esteem in underserved youth between the ages of 10-18. Our six weekly themes; patience, persistence, responsibility, courage, respect, and pride, provide a framework for learning and personal growth. We use our time before stepping on a board to introduce the weekly theme through an activity, and reinforce the concept throughout instruction. This structure allows participants to make meaningful connections to the curriculum while experiencing the innate joy of riding sideways. All gear and lessons are provided for free to the youth in all of our programming.
