Community Engagement Programs

Future Pathways Programs

Skate Clinics Our  open-enrollment outreach-based coach-led program that serves as the primary point of entry into all HHF programs, events, and opportunity. Locations of open skate clinics ("skate sessions") are posted weekly on our Instagram page. ​ Skate Camp Program In our  SKATE CAMP motivated teen skaters (age 14-17) participate in HHF's year-round Skate Program and are invited to our amazing week away in the mountains of NY state for a week of skating, swimming, camping, hiking, bonding, and so much more! ​Women & Girls Initiative The Women & Girls Initiative is a pioneering program designed to empower and engage girls at a younger age in the world of skateboarding. This initiative creates a safe and supportive space for organic mentorship between women and girls, fostering connections within the traditionally male-dominated sport. LGBTQIA+ Initiative HHF's  LGBTQIA+ Initiative seeks to provide support, advocacy and opportunity to skateboarders in the NYC area who identify as women and/or LGBTQIA+. Men’s Mental Health Initiative The Men's Health Initiative focuses on male-identifying skaters and their impact within the skateboard community. We host a series of workshops and events that support men’s ability to listen, learn, and become better allies and role models.

Rider Development Program This initiative provides structured support to talented competitive skateboarders, who often face unique challenges due to their singular focus on skateboarding. It ensures they can balance their passion for skateboarding with other essential life goals such as fitness and education. Grow With Google ​Grow with Google at HHF helps skaters across NYC and the US grow their skills, careers, and businesses by offering free tools, training, and events. In partnership with Google and Coursera, we provide scholarships for self-paced, online professional certificates in the fast-growing high-demand fields of project management, user experience (UX) design, data analytics, digital marketing & e-commerce, IT support, and cybersecurity. ​ Creative Careers Program This program offers pathways to skateboarding adjacent careers, helping young individuals explore and pursue creative professions that align with their passion for skateboarding. Workforce Readiness Initiative This component creates internship opportunities for young adults, offering them structured work environments to gain valuable experience and prepare for their future careers.
