PLAY ·2024 Grants ChallengeConcrete Queenz Project SkateHER4Life
Project SkateHER4Life will create safe, inclusive spaces for girls to learn and practice skateboarding, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded them. Our work aims to develop a generation of girls who are mentally stronger and more equipped to face life's challenges - including stress, anxiety, and depression. Our program will not just physically transform the landscape of South LA, but also shift societal attitudes towards girls in sport, making LA a model city for others to follow.

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.
