In January 2022, TSP hosted the Fellowship Program cohort for their firstprogram retreat in San Diego, CA. The advocacy training and project design program aims to build more knowledgeable, diverse, and equipped skatepark advocates, designers, and programmers and has already helped our first group of 12 fellows make a positive impact in the social skate space.   The trip allowed the fellows to connect in person and see firsthand what it takes to create and maintain quality community skate spaces. Listen in to learn more about the program, the fellows, and their skatepark advocacy journey to-date!
