Talent Skatepark, Inc. is so much more than skateboarding. We are a second home where Vermont youth build self-confidence, self-esteem, and bonded friendships inside our walls. We take pride in being available - not just for teaching, but also for mentoring and creating space for kids to share their whole selves. Every youth who walks through our doors are given the support they need to thrive. Since Talent's start, we have offered scholarships to cover fees, gear, helmets, and pads to those who otherwise wouldn't be able to participate in our summer skateboard camps, holiday clinics, and lessons. While we've been able to keep pace with the scholarship requests in the past, the need has grown substantially!  We need your help to ensure the kids who need us are able to be welcomed, embraced, and invested in – emotionally, physically, and financially. Please make a tax-deductible gift today! 

Talent Skatepark is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space where people of all ages can build confidence, community, and creativity through skateboarding. Since reopening as a nonprofit, we’ve seen tremendous support and community interaction — from kids attending camps and lessons to adults rediscovering the joy of skating.

Why We Fundraise
As operating costs rise, community support has become essential to keep Talent accessible and sustainable. Donations and sponsorships directly fund:

• Rent and Utilities: Keeping our indoor park open and safe year-round.

• Staff and Coaches: Providing mentorship, guidance, and high-quality instruction.

• Expanded programming: Camps, clinics, afterschool sessions, adaptive programming, veterans dealing with PTSD, and community events.

• Facility Upkeep: Maintaining ramps, features, and safety equipment.

• Scholarships: Ensuring no skater is turned away due to financial barriers.

The Impact
Talent isn’t just about skateboarding — it’s about connection, resilience, and belonging. For many young people, this is where they find their people, their confidence, and their motivation. Every dollar raised helps us provide a safe, positive space for kids and families, keeping our community rolling strong.

Your Support Matters
By donating, sponsoring, or participating in our events, you’re helping sustain a vital community hub that empowers youth and builds lifelong skills. Together, we can ensure that Talent Skatepark continues to thrive for years to come.
