At Sk8 HAVEN, we are passionate about creating an inclusive, safe, and empowering environment where children of all abilities can experience the joy of skateboarding and roller skating. Founded by Ally Rodriguez, Sk8 HAVEN is dedicated to providing autism-friendly skate lessons, social recreation, and community-building opportunities for children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and the entire neurodiverse community through specialized clinics and events.
Our mission is to promote physical activity, social skills, and self-confidence through skating, while creating a supportive space where each skater can thrive at their own pace. Through initiatives like the Spectrum Skater Scholarship program and Regional Center Social Recreation Funding, we ensure that skateboarding is accessible to everyone, regardless of financial barriers.
We are proud to collaborate with local partners and organizations to bring unique events, including our monthly ASD Skate Session Clinics and our highly anticipated Giveback events. These initiatives help us raise awareness, foster inclusivity, and celebrate the vibrant community of skaters who call Sk8 HAVEN their home.
Join us in building a future where skateboarding is for everyone!
