In this episode of Forks, we talk with Yash Preswalla, founder of Toronto's Impact Skate Club, about how skateboarding became his path to purpose, sobriety, and social change.

Yash shares his journey from bar gigs and burnout to building one of Toronto’s most inclusive youth programs. We explore how he supports neurodivergent kids, teaches accountability with compassion, and weaves mentorship, mental health, and social justice into everything he does.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, or youth advocate, this conversation is full of insights on how to raise resilient, confident young people—and show up for yourself along the way.
