We believe that skateboarding has the power to transform lives, offering youth a sense of belonging and a path to leadership. By investing in these young people, we are building stronger, more resilient communities that are equipped to thrive.
LAUNCH: Community Through Skateboarding provides an environment that fosters a culture of creativity and self-expression to young skateboarders throughout northern Colorado. We promote active physical play and learning, giving participants the opportunity to develop essential life skills, to evolve into leaders, and to develop effective solutions for their communities.
Launch Community Through Skateboarding, founded in 2011, is a non-profit organization committed to providing youth with a positive and inclusive environment to develop skills through skateboarding.

Launch is dedicated to making skateboarding accessible to all, with programs that provide free skateboards and lessons to underserved populations, ensuring that every young person has the opportunity to participate, regardless of their background or resources. Through its programs, Launch helps foster confidence, resilience, and leadership while promoting meaningful connections between participants, their peers, and the wider community.
