1/24/22 COVID19 UPDATE: PROGRAMS PAUSE
(CLICK TO EXPAND) To our Skate Like a Girl Community- Skate Like a Girl will be continuing to pause our in-person indoor programming due to the ongoing high rates of COVID19 cases in the communities we serve in Seattle, Portland, and SF Bay. This cautionary measure will remain until we see rates of COVID19 drop back down. Online registration for indoor in-person programs during this time will remain closed, and our team will be issuing full refunds for any registration fees paid for any cancelled program. If you are currently registered for a future program, a refund will be issued to the card you used to register and will be processed automatically -- there is no action necessary on your part to ensure that you are refunded due to these cancellations. As things develop, we will be reassessing our COVID19 policies and return to all programs as soon as we can do that safely. We will be communicating all developments via our website (skatelikeagirl.com), @skatelikeagirl on Instagram, and via our email newsletter (click here to sign up). We appreciate your patience and hope that everyone is taking precautions to ensure the health and safety of everyone around them. Thank you for your support of Skate Like a Girl, and for your understanding as we navigate the ongoing effects of the COVID19 pandemic. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please be in touch with us at info@skatelikeagirl.com. Best, The Skate Like a Girl Team |

9/1/2021 COVID-19 PROGRAMS UPDATE
(clicK TO EXPAND) 9/1/21: COVID-19 UPDATE Dear Skate Like a Girl community members, As you know, the pandemic is still not over. With the news of the variants and infection rates going back up, we have had to make some tough choices to ensure we are continuing to serve our mission without putting our community in unnecessary danger. For this coming fall, we are excited to continue programs in all 3 chapter cities, including social distance clinics with high-needs youth, community meetups, Women &/or Trans Sessions, and events like Shop Hangs. With this choice to continue programs, we wanted to ensure our community understands the measures that will continue to be in place to keep our participants, volunteers, and staff safe: Masks Required! Masks will be required to be worn at all Skate Like a Girl programming and events, for staff, volunteers, and participants of all ages. The only exception to this mandate is outdoor community meetups, as these are hosted at shared public spaces that we cannot control. At these outdoor community meetups, masks are highly encouraged and additional masks will be available for anyone in need. No Contact! Pad up! Our staff and volunteers will continue to facilitate Skate Like a Girl programming without contacting participants. Skateboarding is a dangerous activity, and therefore we encourage the use of helmets and elbow/knee/wrist pads for skaters in our programs. Helmets, pads, and skateboards, will be provided to any skater in need, to keep. We will continue to not loan gear out to minimize contact and contamination. If you’d like to request gear please complete our Gear Request Form by clicking here. Refunds are Easy! We strongly encourage our community to stay home if they are feeling ill, or if they have been exposed to anyone who is ill. Any participant in a fee-based Skate Like a Girl program is entitled to a full refund if they are potentially experiencing symptoms of Covid-19, or potentially exposed to someone with Covid-19. Additionally, if a program is cancelled due to a Covid-19 exposure, participants will be refunded fully. Our intention with this memo is to acknowledge that we are still in a pandemic and are taking precautions to keep our community safe while skateboarding with us. We appreciate your patience and support as we continue to navigate our new reality. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact us at info@skatelikeagirl.com. Best, The Skate Like a Girl Team |

This toolkit was created to help establish a base curriculum that facilitators can use as their “go-to” manual when planning out their skateboarding program. With help from our long-time staff and coaches, we have gathered the best tips and practices to help you work with individuals of different learning styles, successfully facilitate a positive learning environment, and plan games and activities in various program models -- to share with our community for free. Take this document as a guide rather than a set of strict expectations.
