Marco works in the Youth Empowerment sector leading the Skate College Association (SCA). Marco is a social entrepreneur promoting a better professional perspective for skaters willing to study. The SCA’s primary customers are skateboarders attending any of Brazil’s universities. There is enormous scope for social impact in Brazil, and education is one of the most important ways to change society. The SCA’s product is unique, as it presents an innovative way to conciliate sport and education. The SCA is the first in the world to offer college scholarships to skaters. Coming to the YLAI Fellowship, Marco’s top business challenge is Scaling and Expansion.
