Social Excellence

One of the most common things that the students say about DinoMights is that it helps them make friends. What is really incredible is that they make friends across ethnic and economic boundaries that usually keep people from being friends.

Urban youth are equipped to develop social excellence through relationship building and service projects. The team environment provides mentor relationships with coaches, and a positive place to learn how to interact with peers in a diverse setting.

Each spring DinoMights serve their community by teaching First Graders at Richard Green Elementary School and Andersen Elementary School how to skate in The Greg Carroll Learn 2 Skate program.

About 10% of DinoMights' volunteers are former participants. One DinoMight put it this way, "I have made a lot of friends on the DinoMight team and it has helped me motivate others like when we taught those kids to skate."
