Our Programs

School of Skate

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.

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.

Collaboration Scholarship

In partnership with the College Skateboarding Educational Foundation, the Emerald Peace Scholarship launched in 2024.

This scholarship supports first-generation college students, DACA/Dreamer recipients, international students, and members of the queer community. Since its launch, we have awarded eight students across all levels of higher education, including PhD, master’s, and bachelor’s programs. Awarding a total of 30k so far!
