Stoked Mentoring is a unique organization that develops innovative programs exposing “at risk” youth and their mentors to non-traditional action sports (surfing, skating, snowboarding) as a means to develop and foster resiliency, determination and success. Responsible for developing the curriculum for each mentoring program/season, Stoked recruits and trains program mentors and teachers/coaches, hand-matches mentor and mentee, manages the mentoring relationship for optimal results and oversees post-season follow up. The current programs target teens 13 - 17 years old.

Friends of Stoked is a community of like-minded individuals focused on the fundraising efforts necessary to support and expand Stoked Mentoring.  Friends of Stoked actively seeks financial support, volunteers, and art contributions which can be sold through auctions at regular Stoked fundraisers.  Please spread the word about Stoked with your friends and colleagues.  If you cannot help directly, you probably know someone who is able to support the program.  For more information about Stoked, please visit the website at www.stokedmentoring.org
