welcome!

The Harold Hunter Foundation, based in the heart of New York City, is dedicated to transforming the lives of urban youth through the power of skateboarding. Created to honor the memory of the late skateboarder and actor Harold Hunter, our 501 (c)(3) nonprofit is committed to fostering personal growth, community engagement, educational opportunities, and job development for teens and young adults.

community outreach

Our coach-led community skate clinics are the point of entry to all HHF programming. Available weekly at skate parks and spots in The Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, HHF provides mentorship, life skills workshops, and psychosocial support designed to help youth overcome barriers by nurturing the development of social-emotional and self-management strategies as well as guiding skaters through the process of post-secondary career exploration.

social-emotional learning

Our Social-Emotional Learning programs help kids build core life skills through a variety of initiatives such as Skate Camp, the Brownsville Skate Project, and our Woman & LGBTQIA+ Initiative.

Creative careers

Through workshops, panels, events, and educational opportunities, we strive to create spaces where skaters can network with potential mentors, share and hone their craft, develop in-demand skills, and expand their landscape of opportunity. Learn more >>
