Common Ground Skate
"Building community through skateboarding"
About Us
Common Ground Skate Inc. is a grassroots not-for-profit organisation dedicated to building a stronger and more connected community through the power of skateboarding.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create inclusive, safe, and welcoming environments where young people can learn to skate, build confidence, and find their place. Through our workshops we help the next generation lead with heart and look out for one another, ensuring that every young person, regardless of their background or ability, truly feels they belong.
Breaking Down Barriers
While skateboarding is one of the fastest-growing youth sports in Australia, many young people are sidelined by significant barriers, including high equipment costs, a lack of supervision, and limited pathways for true beginners.
We deliver free, structured programs that introduce young people to the sport in a supportive environment. By removing the financial and social hurdles to participation, we ensure that the benefits of skateboarding are accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford it.
