About Stoked Mentoring
Co-founded in 2005 by Steve Larosiliere and Sal Masekela, Stoked Mentoring is a unique non-profit organization based in New York and Los Angeles that provides innovative mentoring programs exposing "at risk" youth and their mentors to action sports. Through these initiatives, we promote Successful Teens with Opportunity, Knowledge, Experience and Determination. By establishing a positive relationship between mentor and mentee, taking youth out of their comfort zone, and pushing them past their boundaries, Stoked helps promote self-esteem, self-confidence, and success in the teens we mentor.
