Mentoring through skateboarding?
Tell me more..
At Skate of Mind, we believe in the transformative power of skateboarding to build confidence, resilience, and well-being management. Providing a supportive environment where people of all ages and abilities can develop both their skateboarding skills and life skills through the guidance of dedicated mentors.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower people through skateboarding by fostering personal and professional growth. We aim to inspire and support our mentees as they navigate life's challenges, helping them set and achieve their goals both on and off the skateboard.
Our Approach
At Skate of Mind, we use a holistic approach to mentoring that goes beyond teaching tricks and techniques. Our mentoring program is built around key principles and strategies designed to support the overall well-being of our mentees:
- Emotional Regulation: We teach the Four R's of emotional regulation—Recognize, Reframe, Relax, Respond—to help mentees manage their emotions constructively.
- SMART Goal Setting: We guide mentees in setting Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound goals to ensure they can articulate and achieve their aspirations effectively.
- Active Listening and Communication: Our mentors develop strong listening skills and effective communication techniques to build trust and understanding with mentees.
- Safeguarding: We prioritize the welfare and well-being of our mentees, recognizing signs of potential harm or abuse, and understanding the procedures for reporting and responding to safeguarding concerns.

“Awww Fabulous, they were all buzzing when they came back! What a great success, thank you!”

“She loved her session with you. she said how you helped her to ignore the girls and others around her. Watching you two together from the car was like you were genuinely happy when she did something well and that was lovely to watch. I think she is going to like her sessions with you. She has NEVER gelled so quickly with someone there to help her.”
