Take our 2024-25 Community Needs Assessment Survey

Based on our annual Community Needs Assessment Survey, we identify what services participants are in need of and we do our best to create programs around that develop assistance to better support them. For example, in 2020 we identified that the community was struggling mentally and socially with the effects of COVID-19, therefore we developed a skateboarding program. The skateboarding program, Skate Albany, promoted empowerment, life skills, and building upon one’s sense of belonging and self-esteem with skateboarding, which was an outdoor activity, also increased social skills and development of new hobbies for participants. We then identified that during the winter and wet/cold seasons depression was higher than in the summer times within the skateboarding community due to the lack of a safe space to skateboard indoors. We fundraised to build an indoor skatepark to support our community even more and our goal of the Skate Albany program was accomplished!
