Strength Through Shred program is a 4-week skateboarding program for girls ages 9-17 that focuses on creating positive outlets through sport, providing accessibility, and raising awareness about mental and physical well-being. It prioritizes marginalized groups in areas where skateboarding and mental health resources may not be readily available.
Through our program, we facilitate a structured gathering where participants engage in warm-up activities, stretching exercises, and positive thought provoking introductions. Our dedicated instructors impart skateboarding techniques and guide participants in acquiring new skills throughout the program.
Our primary goal for this project is to enhance the mental well-being of Detroit’s youth through the transformative power of skateboarding.
This workshop will take place from July 9th – August 1st, 2025, on Wednesdays and Fridays.
