Goal

Together, we provide #MoreThanSkateparks


Your gift allows at-risk youth at our skateparks to thrive.


Your donation has a direct impact on empowering children benefiting from our daily youth programmes in Peru, Jamaica and Morocco. 


Life-skills training, homework tutoring, professional development workshops, Girls Skate sessions, social counselling, community leadership grants... and of course skateboarding! – all to support underserved youth in their journey through life.


You are the reason this is possible.


This campaign goal will allow the charity to run a full 4-month season of youth programmes for our 315 weekly beneficiaries, across all three project locations. 


Thank you!


P.S. Please help us achieve financial sustainability by giving monthly, i.e. joining the CJFamily. It is by far the most effective way to support the cause.
