About Stoked Mentoring: Co-founded in 2005 by Steve Larosiliere and Sal Masekela, Stoked Mentoring is a unique non-profit organization based in New York and Los Angeles that provides innovative mentoring programs exposing “at risk” youth and their mentors to action sports. Through these initiatives, we promote Successful Teens with Opportunity, Knowledge, Experience and Determination.
