EXPANDING OUR IMPACT IN 2026
 

Today, Serious JuJu is much more than a traditional indoor skatepark—it serves as a vital community resource for youth and families throughout the Flathead Valley. We are a community-centered youth development organization that responds directly to the critical needs of local families by providing a safe place where every child is welcomed, valued, and empowered to succeed.

As community needs continue to evolve, Serious JuJu is expanding its impact through skate camps, youth clinics, leadership development opportunities, mentorship initiatives, and specialized skill-building programs designed to meet the needs of local families.

In the first six months of 2026, we served more than 500 families living below the Federal Poverty Level, providing safe recreation, positive adult role models, mentorship, food assistance, and opportunities inaccessible due to financial barriers.

In response to growing mental health needs, Serious JuJu launched The Balance Project—Montana's first therapeutic skateboarding program—developed in partnership with licensed therapists for at-risk youth. By combining evidence-based therapeutic support with skateboarding, the program helps participants build confidence, emotional regulation skills, resilience, and healthy coping strategies.
 

We have also built collaborative partnerships and hosted workshops with community organizations such as CASA for Kids and the Center for Restorative Youth Justice (CRYJ) that broaden access to youth support services, advocacy, and restorative programming throughout our community.

Skateboarding fosters invaluable life skills and character traits, including awareness, respect, resilience, innovation, self-esteem, responsibility, and kindness. The transformative power of Serious JuJu lies in these key benefits.

WHY IT MATTERS

Every child deserves a place to belong.

For many children in the Flathead Valley, Serious JuJu is the difference between isolation and belonging, inactivity and purpose, discouragement and hope. Every day, we see young people overcome fear, build confidence, form healthy friendships, discover their strengths, and develop the resilience needed to navigate life's challenges.

Support for this work is more critical than ever.

Additional investment will help Serious JuJu continue serving as a vital community resource and remain a place where youth—regardless of income, background, or circumstance—can access mentorship, safe recreation, pathways for personal growth, meaningful relationships, stronger emotional well-being, and skills for lifelong success.
