DinoMights – Learn 2 Skate Program

Spring program looking for volunteers like you!

Spring program looking for volunteers like you!

Every year during the spring, the DinoMights organization brings in kids ages seven and eight (1st and 2nd grade) from Minneapolis and St. Paul to teach them how to ice skate. During this six week program they teach kids the basics of skating in a very inclusive and encouraging environment.

Skating for the first time, which is the case for most of the kids they serve, can be a very anxious task. With the help of the DinoMights staff and many amazing volunteers they help minimize any self doubts about stepping into the unfamiliar world of hockey.  Their smiles and confidence grow throughout the course of the program and, if you volunteer, you will be a part of many unforgettable and important moments that these kids can share and experience for the rest of their lives.

Although there are still many barriers that prevent kids from being able to join the world of hockey, DinoMights provides a solution by bringing in kids from areas that often get overlooked to both participate in and enjoy our Learn 2 Skate program.

The DinoMights are seeking groups and individuals to volunteer to help tie skates, and to give a hand on the ice. They hope to see you!
