Our Programs
In partnership with Salad Days of Skateboarding, we
launched our first tour in March 2025 across 5 regions
of Guatemala providing free skateboard lessons to
over 600 kids, planting the seeds for something lasting.
Since then, we have implemented a free weekly skate
program that remains a consistent and strong safe
space where youth continually go to build confidence,
find community, and grow physically and mentally
through the culture of skateboarding.
What started as a grassroots initiative has earned the
support of local municipal leadership and, as of this
year, the Guatemala Skate Federation has classified us
a skate school in Jocotenango, Guatemala cementing
our program as a nationally-recognized movement.
Global Scholarships
As of March 2026 Emerald Peace has officially launched its scholarship mentorship program, awarding scholarships to students from our skate school attending El Patojismo.
Through quarterly check-ins, we stay actively involved in each scholar's journey—providing the resources, encouragement, and accountability to ensure that every student we invest in has a clear path to college and the support to get there.
