Since 2018, we’ve been working to track the trends, changes and progress among hundreds of social skate projects around the world, and are excited to share a new-and-improved global survey of "skateboarding for good"!  

If you filled out the annual survey in past years, please fill it out again for 2025. This way, we can show how our community is progressing each year. Only one person per organization needs to fill the survey.

We're Now Collecting Shared Participant Impact Data

The Survey has a new section at the end to collect shared participant impact data, based on the Goodpush Collective Impact Framework. The Goodpush Theory of Change was developed by 50 organizations worldwide in 2024, and we're excited to be able to use the Annual Survey of Social Skateboarding Worldwide as a shared data collection tool that will give insights into the combined positive changes our skate projects are making globally.

To help you answer these participant impact questions, we’ve prepared a short participant survey template that any social skate project can use and adapt (download it here!). We recommend that you do this survey with your participants before you fill our Annual Survey, however you'll also be able to fill out the first section of the Annual Survey and go back and edit your answers at a later stage before the deadline on February 25th.

If you've already done your own participant survey for 2025, you'll likely be able to answer some of the new questions since they cover common benefits that social skateboarding projects are aiming to provide to their participants, such as feeling safe, learning new skills, friendship, etc.

If you need encouragement, here are three good reasons to take part in the survey:

1. Get your project on the map!
   Your project will be added to the map of social skateboarding on our brand new website! The Goodpush map shows who is working in which countries, helping all of us to connect with each other.
   
2. Contribute to knowledge-sharing!
   The results will be shared online so you can learn more about other projects. Each year, the survey results are published online so that the information is accessible to everyone.
   
3. Funds and support!
   The data helps social skate projects to get support and the resources they need. Previous survey results have been used by skate companies and donors to guide their funding and equipment donations to social skateboarding projects, and have also helped our Goodpush Alliance team to create new resources, e-courses, and webinars to support your work. We'll also keep all survey participants informed of upcoming grant opportunities provided by Skateistan and Goodpush.
   

Last year, 138 social skateboarding projects worldwide filled out the survey, and we hope to hear from even more this year! Complete the survey in English here!

The survey is also available in Portuguese!

Since there are so many social skateboarding projects in Brazil, we also have a Portuguese version of the survey which you can complete here.
