Skate Bud

Skate Buds works to break down economic and social barriers by making skateboarding accessible to kids who often feel left out. Through support from partners across the skate industry, the organization brings the excitement of skating to young people while pairing it with a hands on, learner driven approach to mentorship. Led by executive director Zach Moldof, whose background in skate advocacy helps shape real change, Skate Buds uses the culture of skateboarding as a tool to build confidence, connection, and opportunity.
