Everything starts with a skateboard and a helmet. Our programmes offer free skate lessons to kids and youth in various locations worldwide, but that is just where the ride begins.
CJF focuses on teaching soft skills and helping others master their hard skills. Participants and apprentices join our programmes to learn and explore new things and opportunities. And it's during this process that the magic happens. Through skating and education, we are able to stimulate positive change and help communities thrive.
Skateboarding can do a lot for you, but with your help, we can make skateboarding have a bigger impact where it's needed most. Join us in shaping a brighter future through skateboarding and help us secure our 2024 programmes. We’ve already secured 66.6% of the costs the entire spectrum of our activities for 2024, but we need YOUR help to ensure the final piece of the puzzle: €21,000 that will go 100% towards creating a positive impact in the communities we work in and beyond.
Our focus is sustainable positive change in five different areas:
Community Development and Social Cohesion
3 programmes in 3 different countries running locally, 2 of them locally registered between 2022-23 and 1 entirely locally financed.
Good Health and Wellbeing
In 2022, 1,128 kids and youth were engaged in weekly life-skill-focused sports programme.
