Tyrone Williams and his mentor, AJ Kohn, are joining forces to teach Philadelphia children how to skateboard this summer.

"When I was 13, I was skating at Whitehall Skatepark," said Tyrone Williams. "I seen AJ, and when I seen him skating, I had to come up and introduce myself and ask to learn the tricks."

"He kind of just took me under his wing, and just started teaching me skateboarding tricks and teaching me about life as well all the way up to an adult now," said Williams. "Nobody was there for me like AJ was." "We do lessons, we do community events, we do assemblies, and today we actually have one of our summer camps," said Kohn. "So, we make it accessible to anybody who wants to come in and skate."
