Skate for Change is no longer operating as an active, centralized program of The Bay, and we are not currently coordinating City Leaders, local chapters, Skate for Change outings, or supply distribution.

This page exists to inform and to share a core principle of SFC that anyone can carry forward the mission of Skate for Change in their own community. 

Skate for Change started with a simple idea: skaters could use what they already had — a board, a backpack, a few supplies, and a willingness to show up — to care for people in their own communities.

Over the years, that idea traveled farther than we ever could have imagined. Skaters organized in cities across the country, handed out socks and hygiene kits, built friendships, met people where they were, and proved that service does not have to be complicated to matter.

Skate for Change was born through the work that eventually became The Bay. Since then, The Bay has grown and changed. Today, our focus is on creating youth-centered spaces, programs, and opportunities in Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska — places where young people can find belonging, build skills, create, skate, work, lead, and be surrounded by people who care.
