About Girls Riders Organization, Inc. (GRO)

Girls Riders Organization (GRO) is a nonprofit group launched in 2006 on a mission to inspire, educate and support girls in action sports. Touring the country bringing nonexclusive events and opportunities designed for females by females too more girls coast to coast to anyone. All girls, all ages and all skill levels are encouraged to participate. GRO strives to make skateboarding more accessible, providing equipment, experienced instructors and a safe and positive environment. Then through our ongoing network of support, we are building membership based Local Gro Crews to further community involvement and provide well-rounded opportunities all year long.

2010 marks our 5th year on tour reaching out to girls of all ages and skill levels, building support for current riders and bringing a new opportunity for others. Since 2006 we have worked one on one with over 2,500 girls one on one through GRO Workshops. Building that number even more this year, reaching more girls with skateboarding coast to coast than ever before. Remember, Change is inevitable. Growth is optional. GRO your world.
