SF BAY AREA CHAPTER
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge that we live, work, and skateboard on Huchiun, the traditional and unceded land of the first people of Oakland, the Lisjan and Muwekma Ohlone People and many other Indigenous communities who call the San Francisco Bay Area home. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the people past, present, and future who have sustained relationships with it for thousands of years. In spite of federal, state, and local policies of genocide, Indigenous communities continue to exist, thrive and care for lands across the Bay Area. This acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities but serves as a first step in honoring the land we occupy, acting in solidarity with Native communities, and supporting Indigenous sovereignty and rematriation. One way we suggest taking action in honor of Ohlone peoples is to give shuumi–pay a voluntary land tax to the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust. We encourage our community to self educate, share out and donate to Indigenous led efforts; including Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, Friendship House SF, American Indian Child Resource Center, Turtle Island Skateboard Project. Also, visit this link to learn what Native land you occupy.

SK8 SCHOOL (Tuesdays 1/16-5/7)
Sk8 School is a series of (5) lesson-based skateboard classes that provide youth an opportunity to develop new skills on and off their skateboards while making new friends along the way. Whether youth are brand new to skateboarding or looking to progress their skating this is a program for them!
This is a 5 class pack that will support skaters in building upon their skate skill, relationships with friends and our coaches. Each class we will also focus on a life theme to practice being our best versions of self on and off the board! We ask that families try to commit to all 5 skate sessions. This allows our young people to build upon their skating & themes each week, plus develop deeper relationships with their coaches and peers. It is totally okay if a skater cannot make all the date offerings, we would ask that you just take this into consideration before registering. NOTE: We are not able to offer make up classes or refunds for any missed sessions. If there is a class cancellation due to staff illness or weather/air quality or other form of natural disaster we will refund or credit families the remaining classes. GEAR NOTE: We will have free loaner gear on site for any participants to borrow during programs, including helmets, pads, and skateboards. You do not need to request gear in advance. Price: $150 for 5 skateboard classes
