Community Projects

Skateline is actively engaged in the inline-skating community in Singapore. Besides taking the lead in on-skate community projects, we are also often directly involved in, or assisting in the events of other community organizations.

OUR COMMUNITY PROJECTS

Skate Assist Volunteers

Skaters who are interested to do more with their skating skills are recruited as SAVs. They are exposed to more opportunities to participate in regular events and activities, providing assistance and knowledge to other commuters or skaters to make this sport fun and safe.

Community Involvement Program

The SAV program had been recognized by several schools as a way for students to complete their CIP hours. Several SAV Youths have taken this as their contribution to their CIP requirements. If you would like to convert your hours on skates as part of your CIP fulfillment, you may request for a letter from our head office to seek approval and endorsement from your schools should your school recognize this involvement.

 

As an SAV Youth, you can skate the park as a SAV to promote safe skating and park safety for park users, participate as a volunteer in any of our charity events or National Park Safety Campaign sessions, assist in our Saturday Night Skates for the community or any other community event that skateline is involved in. There is no better way for a skater to promote skating as a safe and fun sport and earn CIP credits at the same time.


 

The National Park Safety Campaign

This was launched back in 2003. Together with the National Parks Board, Skateline has through its SAV program worked on educating the public on making our parks safe for everyone.
