Today, we’re proud to share a project that means a great deal to all of us at the Find Your Grind Foundation: the creation of the Luke Trembath Learning Lab in partnership with Wy’East Academy.

This initiative honors the legacy of Luke “Dingo” Trembath—a pioneer, creator, and beloved member of the action sports community whose influence continues to inspire young people worldwide. Luke’s spirit was rooted in exploration, self-expression, and possibility. Through this learning lab, we’re ensuring that spirit lives on in a way that empowers the next generation.

The Luke Trembath Learning Lab will become a hub for career exploration, creativity, and life readiness for students at Wy’East Academy—equipping them with access, mentorship, and immersive experiences that help them discover who they are and where they want to go.

From future-ready curriculum to project-based learning environments and hands-on exposure to emerging industries, this space will support students in building the confidence and clarity to design the lives they want to live.

Find Your Grind Foundation is proud to partner with the Wichita Learning Lab in Kansas, an innovative independent micro-school redefining how students learn and explore their futures. Through this partnership, the Learning Lab is integrating Find Your Grind’s future-ready learning platform into its curriculum, empowering students to discover who they are, explore potential career paths, and build skills for life beyond the classroom. This collaboration represents a shared commitment to personalized, purpose-driven education—helping young people in Kansas chart their own paths with confidence, curiosity, and self-awareness.

This summer, the Find Your Grind Foundation joined forces with Loyal to the Craft to launch a unique pop-up experience at Warped Tour, blending music, purpose, and possibility into a powerful activation for youth across the country.

Set against the backdrop of one of the most iconic alternative music tours in the world, the Find Your Grind Foundation pop-up created a first-of-its-kind space where students, artists, and fans could explore who they are, not just what they want to do.

In partnership with Loyal to the Craft — a platform celebrating musicians who stay true to their creative journey — our pop-up served as a career inspiration hub, live demo studio, and community showcase all in one.

“This was more than a booth. It was a movement. We’re showing young people that their identity, values, and passions can shape real careers — and lives they love.”

Nick Gross, Founder, Find Your Grind

🔍 What the Pop-Up Offered

• Live workshops and artist talks on mental health, music careers, and personal branding
• Interactive storytelling stations featuring creatives, tech leaders, and educators
• Hands-on experiences where fans could step into real-world creative careers
• Access to Find Your Grind’s curriculum and scholarships

Warped Tour has always been more than a concert — it’s a culture. For FYG Foundation, that made it the perfect platform to connect with Gen Z dreamers, DIY creators, and students looking for more than just college brochures and test scores.

By showing up where they are — on tour, in the scene, and part of the music — we’re making career exploration something that feels real, accessible, and inspiring

Loyal to the Craft’s ethos — authenticity, artistry, and self-discovery — is deeply aligned with the mission of the Find Your Grind Foundation. Together, we amplified voices that often go unheard and gave young people a chance to see new futures for themselves

This pop-up is just the beginning. As we look to the future, Find Your Grind Foundation will continue to partner with festivals, cultural events, and industry leaders to bring purpose-driven career exploration into the real world — one stage, one story, and one student at a time.

The new rink will serve as a hub for youth hockey programs, skating lessons, and community events — helping students develop both on and off the ice. Through this partnership, we’re not just creating a space for recreation — we’re building a foundation for future success by giving students the opportunity to explore new passions and develop essential life skills.

The Find Your Grind Foundation believes in creating safe places for kids to ‘learn by doing’ and explore their passions.

To further this belief, FYG Foundation is teaming up with The Skateboard Project to support the Chandler Park Skatepark project in Detroit, Michigan, ensuring kids will have a free, safe place to skate.

With 50% of the surrounding community being under the age of 18, FYG Foundation is excited to bring a healthy recreational space that will benefit the neighborhood and create intentional opportunities for community and collaboration in East Detroit.

For many skateboarding youth, the park will become a home-away-from-home and provide access to an environment that celebrates and recognizes skateboarding as a beneficial activity.

In too many places skateboarders get the wrong message from local authorities who limit or outlaw skateboarding and ignore its inherent benefits. Skateparks are the solution – they reduce illicit behavior, provide a safe environment, reduce damage to private property, encourage physical activity, improve mental health, and have a positive economic impact. Every skatepark supports hundreds of kids that might otherwise have nowhere to go.

According to the Tony Hawk Foundation: “Skateparks provide a physical activity for kids not interested in traditional team sports. Community skateparks provide a safe and challenging place for skaters of all levels to develop as athletes. Public skateparks provide healthy activity for kids and help eliminate boredom and drug use”.

In addition to all these benefits, the skatepark will feature “green”, sustainable and eco-friendly skate-able features as well as renewable solar lighting to promote broader environmental awareness. Through this partnership, the Chandler skatepark will break ground in 2020 with an anticipated completion date in mid-2021.

The Find Your Grind Foundation supports Venice Ball’s community events low-income/high-need communities after the renovation of a school’s basketball court has been completed.

On the inauguration/opening day of the court, FYG Foundation supports comprehensive programming to celebrate the court’s opening that engages the local community in the project. The opening day activations typically include a basketball kids’ clinic, a dunk contest with notable athletes from the area, tournaments, music, and speeches from the school’s educators and leadership.

The cost of hockey development programs can often be prohibitive to families in need. Seeing this, FYG Foundation co-created THE RINKS Hockey program alongside the Anaheim Ducks, which enables youth ages 4-14 to explore and grow their love for hockey. 

After launching in September 2018, the first group of 48 youth participated in a full year of programming to help develop their skills both on and off the ice. In 2019, the program expanded to include additional participants and include increased training clinics, as well as mentorship and experiential learning opportunities.

Most recently, FYG Foundation helped launch The FYG Collective – a digital art and technology lab that helps create opportunities for experiential learning for surrounding low-income communities. The FYG Collective provides safe access to digital opportunities, helps build skill sets, and closes the technology gap that exists due to socioeconomic inequality. 

The FYG Collective exists to serve both the established creative community as we well as young people who may be engaging with these technologies and mediums for the first time. All classes, programming, and lab hours are public access, in line with the other spaces and programming of The Bay with intentional opportunities provided to those who need it.
The FYG Collective also houses frequent educational workshops, offering educational opportunities to the creative community that range from instructing on the basics to those wanting to pursue that particular area as a career.

In our partnership with the Bay, we are working to create opportunities where they are needed, widen the lens of possibilities for young people, and empower the local creative community.
