PROGRAMS

Using skateboard sales as a gauge, 16% of New Orleans youth are skateboarders. This can only mean that 16% of New Orleans youth are without a public space to feel free to be their whole selves. This is the role Transitional Spaces intends to fulfill.



TRANSITIONAL SPACES IS MORE THAN A MISSION


Skate Scholarship Opportunties

Some skaters have the passion, but lack the access. Transitional Spaces is dedicated to making sure we're doing all we can to break down the barriers that exist between aspiring skateboarders and the tools they need to thrive. Aside from our "Adopt a Skater" partnership with Gnarly Barley Brewing, we're seeking funding to ensure disadvantaged youth and adults also have a chance to be trained and mentored.


Monthly TS Skate Jams

Every month, Transitional Spaces hosts "Skate Jams" where we combine our programming efforts into an event for our skaters and supporters. In addition to there being live music, we also invite mural artists to tag on the spot and pop-up culinary professionals to feed the park's masses.
