Saskatoon's skateboard community in action.

We are an award winning nonprofit that serves marginalized and underserved communities with the skateboard as a tool. Skateboarding fosters self-confidence, persistence, physical activity, creativity and shows positive clinical outcomes in improving emotional regulation and alleviating psychological distress. It can also serve as a positive replacement for team sports, where some children struggle socially or physically to fit in. It can also be an invaluable outlet for the child with energy and a self-starter attitude.

Skateboarding is a great way to engage with your community. Friendships that start at the skatepark are life long. We are a small community here in Saskatoon, and we at Right to Skate are committed to making it as inclusive and accessible as possible.

​

The Elijah Kerslake Skateboard Scholarship is a program that provides skateboards and shoes to youth from low-income families, or those with other barriers to skateboarding. Skateboards and shoes wears out quickly due to the nature of skateboarding. We exist to alleviate a financial burden from the parents and pockets of skateboarders that need it most.
