“Doing this makes my life worth living, it gives me purpose and creates possibilities for others. Experiencing the difference we make in kids’ lives as well as the joy that skateboarding brings to all of us makes me keep going.”
Nebula creates and facilitates a nurturing, dynamic environment where young South Africans can explore their potential and grow through experiential learning and entrepreneurial activity. Rooted in passion for skateboarding, art, design, music and dance, Nebula sources strategic partnerships and creates solutions to the social and economic challenges our youth face in their communities.

“Why do I believe it makes a difference? I can see it day by day. For example, a boy who joined our programme in 2013 is now a top performing student in his class and is growing up with a Nebula Skate of Mind!”
Nebula started off at a Gugulethu Sports Complex, but it aims to implement its youth development programs throughout Cape Town. Nebula has also developed an apparel line to fund its expansion.
