Who We Are
Founded in 2023 by Luis 'Dino' Loya, SK8 4KIDS was born from his journey of overcoming teenage homelessness through the discipline and community of skateboarding.
Today, the organization empowers at-risk youth in El Paso by providing free skate lessons, mentorship, equipment, and meals—creating safe spaces where kids can thrive on and off the board. More than just a skate program, SK8 4KIDS is building confidence, character, and community one kickflip at a time.
