    Ride to Resilience

    "Ride to Resilience," by Concrete Queenz, is an inclusive after-school skateboarding program engaging 50 girls from Green Dot Public Schools in South LA. The program merges mentor-guided skateboarding curriculum with resilience-building activities, empowering participants through sport and fostering mental well-being. By leveraging the mentorship of Olympic-bound professionals, it uniquely addresses play equity within a historically male-dominated arena.
