Get on board.

SkateMD is operated and staffed 100% by volunteers. We like to think we have the best volunteers in Northern California! And, the success of our skateboard clinics depends on the help of these volunteers. Since we strive to provide one-on-one coaching for the youth, we solicit the help of local skateboarders (18 years and over) to serve as "Skate Buddies".  Skate Buddies do not require previous experience working with children with special needs. SkateMD will provide you with a short training and specialists are on-site to support you as you work with participants.  

To round out our crew, SkateMD also seeks the help of:
  • Event support (e.g. registration, snack table, etc.).
  • Photographers and filmers.
  • Local emergency personnel for first aid station.
  • Professionals in the community serving youth, including special needs youth (e.g. physical therapists, special needs aids, etc.) who can support our skateboarders in the process. 
  • Members of the community interested in joining our board of directors or committees.

​Our program also offers a good opportunity for youth and college students seeking experiences/hours volunteering and also working with children and special needs.  

Sign up to volunteer and tell a friend.

We have had 100% positive feedback from our volunteers who have found it completely inspiring and surprisingly fun.
