FOR Love & skateboarding
We love skateboarders. We love skateboarding. Unfortunately, many people in the skateboarding community feel hopeless, anxious, alone and rejected. In the search for an answer they turn to substances and actions that self abuse and only make matters worse.
Restore is a non profit organization dedicated to helping these people, and all people, find the love, hope, and acceptance they are desperately searching for through community building projects, mental health coaching/mentoring and volunteering.
Love heals. Love hopes above all else. Love fights for the lives of others. Love honors people. Love lights up the darkest parts of our lives. Love never gives up. Love never fails.
WHAT WE DO
mentoring
Guider.org reports that mentoring supports isolation, reduces levels of anxiety, increases self confidence, makes an individual feel heard, and gives hope for a future. Mentees have a higher rate of success and achieving life goals.
Mentoring helps individuals take steps to live a self-directed life, improve their health both physically and mentally, strive to reach their full potential by helping find a vision for life, set goals and create plans to overcome personal challenges.
NIH studies show a Sense of Community significantly reduces symptoms of Depression, Anxiety and Stress.
Restore is dedicated to creating a community that acts as a weekly support group, where individuals participate with each other and encourage one another in rediscovering a sense of personal identity and help create meaningful, life giving connections. We host weekly skateboarding events that build an accepting and loving environment and give opportunity for individuals to support one another in personal growth and come together for common goals. This is safe place for people to be open about their struggles, be heard, loved and not alone.
weekly community
Mayo Clinic Research shows that volunteering improves mental health, provides a sense of purpose, teaches valuable skills, and nurtures relationships.
We empower young people to volunteer in our communities through WHEEL BITES, a hands-on feeding mission to our un-housed neighbors.Volunteering with the unhoused community helps individuals talk about mental health and substance abuse, and engage with others openly to break the stigma surrounding mental health that prevents people from seeking treatment. We gather monthly to volunteer in our downtown areas.
