Our Impact.
Five years. Three locations. Thousands of young people facing their fears.
La Paz — Pura Pura 1,971 session attendances Two sessions every weekend at the highest skatepark in the world. Here, targeted inclusion work brought girls' participation to 60% — a milestone for skateboarding in Bolivia.
El Alto 888 session attendances After finishing a community-built skatepark in early 2025, we ran weekend sessions for nearly 8 months — reaching ~45% girls' participation in a historically male-dominated scene.
Viacha 2,014 session attendances — our highest-attended location of the year. A weekly program in a community with no permanent skatepark. We brought portable ramps to the main square and built sustained demand from scratch.
Skateboarding has historically been male-dominated. In Bolivia, the gap is even wider.
We work intentionally to close it. Through safe spaces, dedicated programming, and content designed with and for young women, we ended 2025 with 54% female participation across all our sessions — and 60% in La Paz.
This isn't just a statistic. It's a shift in who gets to take up space in skateboarding.
