The goal of Rollin' Homies is to cultivate an alternative education model that provides financial literacy skills as well as promotes self awareness, community, and physical fitness as a means of advocacy to help prevent gang affiliation and teen violence within the state of NC. The Rollin' Homies learning curriculum includes skate lessons and skate groups to promote physical health, and wealth building knowledge, money management, and entrepreneurial skills through financial technology.
