Stay Connected

For the first leg of SHAPE's first DC to Naija Tour, the team visited Abuja to connect with the local skate community.

SHAPE Skate Foundation has partnered with the Roller Skating Federation of Nigeria on a mission to develop Nigeria’s official Olympic skateboarding program and provide our athletes with the resources needed to reach the world stage.

One of SHAPE’s sponsored junior athletes, Joseph Skywalker, won the first place medal at the International Francophone Skate Youth Championship in Benin this January.

We’re excited to announce that we have an awesome internship opportunity (Jan–June 2026) that combines skateboarding culture with professional experience in fundraising, event planning, and nonprofit management.

Our Annual December Skate Drive is back! This year we will be collecting fairly used and new skate equipment throughout the month of December to send to Tum Shangilieni Mtoto, a school and orphanage in Kenya which also has it’s own skatepark!

We recently teamed up with HU Skate Club to create inspiring artwork for children at the Tumshangilieni Mtoto orphanage in Kenya as part of our annual skate supply drive.

We collaborated with Nomad Strategies, The DC Wheels, and a few other local organizations by hosting a patch-up party and skate jam to help resurrect the skate scene at our iconic Maloof Skatepark in NE Washington D.C.
