It’s almost exactly what Hawk hoped for when he launched this initiative. “Getting to do that again, but for real this time, is one of those things you didn’t actually think would happen.” “It’s almost like a dream come true,” said Campos, who used to draw skatepark designs on printer paper to show their parents. It also aims to support and train young minority leaders. Not only does the program hope to create a new gathering place in minority communities. The program trains 12 diverse skateboarding enthusiasts in community organizing and project management to be able to build a skatepark in their neighborhoods. But last month, Campos was selected for the first class in The Skatepark Project’s fellowship program. Sara Campos remembers being inspired to start skateboarding after playing Tony Hawk videogames on the California family’s PlayStation 2.Ĭampos, 23, who uses they/them pronouns, never dreamed they would be part of Tony Hawk’s charitable work.
