Start A Skate Club For NGOs and Councils
Are you a local government or an NGO seeking to get more people active and participating in non-competitive physical activity?
If yes, the YMCA can support you to activate your Skate Parks, up-skill local leaders, and implement the necessary systems and programs that will:
- Engage young people in alternative sport and recreational activities, increasing opportunities for connectedness through common interests and physical activity.
- Provide long term activation of public skate facilities, support the local economy through the implementation of a scalable and sustainable management model of a public space.
- Develop local ‘community leaders’ by providing locally based career pathways.
- Support the provision of safe places where young people feel a sense of belonging and pride.
The YMCA will work with you to set up and deliver the Skate Club project, this includes the implementation of a business structure, strategy and support systems that empower local community champions to build a social enterprise at your Skate Park.

We will liaise with the councils to obtain permission to run skate lessons in your local skatepark park.
