Community Outreach

It all begins with a need for change. Each year, The Skinner Foundation hosts community events, summits and camps & clinics aimed at addressing ongoing disparities within the Tampa Bay area. Our annual Back to School Event ensures our youth are set up for success each school year, and our Holiday Drives assist families in-need during the holiday time. Our Health and Wellness summits educate our youth on healthy eating habits and encourage an active lifestyle to combat the obesity concerns in the African-American community. Our Youth Athletic Development Camps & Clinics were developed to allow aspiring athletes access to quality athletic training without the financial burden.

We’ve also collaborated and partnered with several organizations aligned with our mission, including Office of the Mayor - City of St. Petersburg, Pinellas County Schools, Pinellas County Health Department, Metro Inclusive Health, St. Petersburg Parks and Recreation, ALPHA House of Pinellas County, St. Petersburg Free Clinic Women’s Residence, Metropolitan Ministries, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., India Welch Ministries and Prayer Tower Church of God in Christ.
