You can Skate Outreach
The Equip & Engage - Youth Outreach Program:
The Equip & Engage Youth Outreach Program, offered through You Can Skate, supports students who want to participate in school-sponsored extracurricular activities but face financial barriers to participation.
Many families work hard yet still struggle to cover the added costs that come with athletics, band, and other school-based programs. Too often, students are forced to step away from opportunities simply because participation fees, equipment, or related expenses are out of reach.
Equip & Engage exists to help remove those barriers so students can remain involved in their school activities, stay connected to their peers, and build confidence through participation.
Who This Program is For:
The Youth Outreach Program is designed for middle and high school students and families who need additional support to participate in school-sponsored extracurricular activities.

-
A student who wants to participate in school activities but faces financial barriers

A parent seeking assistance with school-sponsored sports, band, or activity fees

A family navigating financial challenges while wanting their student to remain involved and engaged in school
