Leaders
Skatelife is a division of Young Life’s work with young people across Canada. We currently have a variety of weekly programs in 12 communities across the country.
Below is an overview of how we reach out in the skate community.
Contact: we hang out with skaters on their own turf- not on our terms, but wherever they are; skateparks, skatespots, shops, wherever. We earn the right to build friendships from within the skate scene.
Skate Club: Skate Club happens each week- its a place where skaters can come, skate, chill, & enjoy some positive skate community. Clubs go year- round in warehouses, church gyms, indoor parks, parkades, etc. Each week we take time to bring everyone together for a bit. Leaders give news about upcoming events, sometimes we have giveaways or funny skits/ games, and we have a ‘thought for the night’- a chance to let the crew know some good news that God wants to know them.
Skate Camp: Definitely the best adventure you can have in skateboarding! Skatelife is serious about offering the best with weekend skate trips, day camps, tours, winter camps & the fabulous ROADRAGE skate tour each summer.
Check out our latest ROADRAGE video on our site.
The Core: At some point in our lives many of us want to take a deeper look into who God is, & how we can have a friendship with Him. The Core is the place to ask questions about life, God, and everything. Core groups meet regularly like skate clubs, and offer a chance to study who Jesus is and how he relates to our lives.
Need some help reaching out to some skaters in your town? We’d love to give you a hand. Skatelife hosts skate ministry conferences, and we have all kinds of resources we can send your way to help you build a significant outreach to the skaters you know.
Contact us & we’ll get to work with you!
