restore
Restore is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building positive community in local parks, group mentoring and one on one life coaching. Restore provides opportunities for skateboarders to learn and grow by serving the un-housed communities of our cities. The change starts with us. If we change the world of skateboarding, we can change the world through skateboarding.

WHAT WE DO
mentoring & Coaching
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 & Coaching 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 and professional challenges in relationships, marriage, finances and faith.
We meet weekly or bi-weekly for coaching and mentoring sessions. Sessions can be done in person or via Zoom.
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.
