Sydney based skateboarding company Totem ran the workshops and Goulburn Mulwaree Council's youth services coordinator Luke Wallace said the event was run as part of the youth council.
Totem head coach Stella Longmire who has been with the company for over a year said they run workshops around NSW to support the youth council.
"We started around 10 years ago and the founders were youth workers," Ms Longmire said.
"The goal is to empower youngsters to gain confidence."
Totem ran a beginners course where they taught basic and easy skills.
They also ran an intermediate course where they taught the skaters what they wanted to learn.
