Become a Stoked Skate/Surf Mentor

Looking for the opportunity to contribute to the life of a young person in need? Want to create strong friendships, challenge yourself and others, and play a role in the growth of the next generation?

Stoked Mentoring is a non profit action sports organization for at-risk youth with the mission of developing Successful Teens with Opportunity, Knowledge, Experience, and Determination through the use of action sports, mentoring, and coaching. Through hands-on partnerships with social service agencies, Stoked presents and oversees several programs yearly, including Skate Mentor, Surf Mentor, and Snow Mentor.

Stoked is currently looking for mentors for our upcoming Skate and Surf mentor programs. Specifically, we are looking for working professionals who are caring, responsible, and dedicated to mentoring our youth. All interested mentors must be pre-screened and trained. Based on the information collected, Stoked will custom match a mentor and mentee for optimal results.

Mentor Requirements:
• Pre-Screening consisting of interest assessment, background check, fingerprinting and reference checks.
• Attend an Stoked Orientation session
• 3-Hour Mentor Training Workshop
• 1-Hour Fundraising Workshop
• Commitment to attend all program sessions and 2-4 hours of mentoring for 1 academic school year. There may be monthly group follow-up sessions and activities.
• Little to no experience in either skateboarding or surfing
• Fundraise: To help underwrite the costs for running these expensive programs, we ask that mentors make a donation and assist in fundraising for the mentoring experience for their mentee. Each program has a specific fundraising goal.
