ROLLIN FROM THE HEART THE IAN POODS BARRY FOUNDATION

Providing disadvantaged and at-risk youth the opportunity to participate in skateboarding, surfing and camping in an effort to promote a more active lifestyle and encourage positive choices. By teaming with peer/mentors that share our values of kindness, compassion and acceptance we strive to instill confidence in those we serve so that they can overcome personal barriers regardless of their economic, social or mental health status.

Volunteering with Rollin’ from the Heart is a great opportunity for those who would like to help out in their community. Although the foundation is focused around skateboarding, that shouldn’t stop you from helping out even if you don’t skateboard. There is plenty of other help that is needed such as hanging out with the kids at events that aren’t skating, helping distribute equipment, and even bringing a smile!

Who are we?

We are a diverse group of skaters, surfers, musicians, artists and nature enthusiasts that are unified in our dedication and desire to improve the lives of others in our community through practices of kindness, compassion and acceptance.

What do we do?

We facilitate activities such as skateboarding, surfing and camping for disadvantaged and at risk youth with the goal of empowering them to develop the life skills necessary for success

By engaging with these young people on a personal level and interacting with them both as peers and mentors, Rollin’ From The Heart strives to give them the confidence to believe in themselves and help them discover their own unique passions and identities.
