Rawdogs

Rawdogs is a skateboarding and urban-culture organization based around RAWDOGS PARK in Yutz, France. It brings together skateboarding, creative activities, events and community participation, with offerings for beginners and more experienced riders. Its holiday programs include skateboarding lessons and graffiti workshops, with equipment and protective gear available to borrow and a minimum age of six. Rawdogs also offers skate initiation sessions and invites towns seeking an engaging activity for young people to get in touch for information and its program brochure.

Beyond lessons, the organization hosts concerts and events, including a festival focused on urban cultures, and shares news through its webzine. Its activities also include a skateshop and the Anniverskate and Agenda extérieur events. Rawdogs supports local art projects as well: artist Petit Niochi decorated 12 blank skateboards, offered for sale to help support the skatepark. The organization welcomes volunteers to assist with indoor skatepark operations, teach or support children during outdoor sessions, help run events, and distribute promotional materials.
