Concrete Jungle Foundation

Concrete Jungle Foundation (CJF) is an international non-profit organisation that builds skateparks for communities around the world, as well as provides educational, recreational and vocational development programmes for local youth. Our purpose is to empower individuals and communities worldwide through fostering and sustaining the positive values inherent to skateboarding. We believe in the transformative power of skateboarding as a tool for positive youth development. Through programmes such as Edu-Skate, the Planting Seeds Apprenticeship and Community Activities, we leverage the values and culture inherent to skateboarding to provide opportunities for young people to be the best version of themselves - on and off the board. We take monitoring and evaluation seriously. Our work is rooted in the UN Sustainable Development Goals and streamlined to work towards good health and wellbeing, economic development, gender equality, and quality education. We are active in Peru, Jamaica and Morocco, employ over a dozen local staff, and weekly reach 300+ beneficiaries through daily youth programmes.
