what we do
Our Mission and Purpose
​
The Poseiden Foundation's purpose is to enhance the quality of life and create positive outlets for youth in the United States, Latin America, and Globally through participation in alternative sports (Skateboarding).
The Poseiden Foundation’s mission is to inspire all youth through life-changing experiences to pursue their passions and to accomplish their dreams. Through empowerment, love, and support, we change the mindset of society by raising awareness of at-risk youth and homeless children within our community.
​
​
Our Approach
​
Our unique approach begins with bringing awareness of opportunities that are available for the less fortunate skateboarding athletes and youth in the United States and developing countries. Generous financial donations support our mission so that the Poseiden Foundation can host Community Outreach Events, Skate Tours, Best Trick Contests, Clinics and Skate Sessions. During our events, we distribute skateboard equipment and gear to communities and youth most in need thanks to our endemic and non-endemic brand partnerships.
​
​
Breaking Barriers
​
The Poseiden Foundation built its mission with the intention of breaking barriers to change the mindset of society through the common language of skateboarding. We focus on breaking gender disparity to create parity of female participation in skateboarding across the globe. Our programs are diversified and inclusive of cultural, geographical, and socioeconomic backgrounds. For example, our local, national, and international empowerment and humanitarian outreach programs build self-confidence, self-esteem, and the awareness of limitless possibilities in life by motivating and encouraging youth from all backgrounds to pursue their passions and accomplish their dreams.
