Mission Statement

We are pioneering a global movement in skate and arts based learning. In everything we do, we want to bring the world on board. By combining skateboarding with creative, arts-based education, we give children the opportunity to shape their own future. Our focus is on girls, children living with disabilities and those from low-income backgrounds.

About This Cause

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDr28vd03RI&ab_channel=Skateistan Since 2008, Skateistan has been providing quality programs to a growing number of communities worldwide and has worked with over 27,000 children. Skateistan is now the leading skateboarding-based development organization and has inspired hundreds of similar projects to be established. Over the past 15 years, Skateistan has built up a network of more than 800 social skateboarding initiatives operating in 100+ countries, and supports these initiatives with free advice, support, events, training, and open-source resources. Children find a fun, safe community where they can play and learn, free from discrimination and violence. Within a diverse peer group, they understand themselves as equal to others while learning new skills and building friendships. As members of a thriving learning community, youth develop key life skills and increase their confidence. Youth set goals, stay in school and participate in civic engagement activities. Many become role models for their peers in the skatepark and classes.
