The results of the 2024 edition of the Survey of Social Skateboarding Projects Worldwide by Skateistan and the Goodpush Alliance are now published!

Throughout January and February 2025, we received answers from 138 skateboarding projects working in 64 countries worldwide — who collectively reached a total of 132,189 participants last year!

The purpose of this annual survey — running since 2018 — is to better understand and document the big-picture aims, activities, impact, and progress of skateboarding for social change on the global level. The survey results provide valuable data that social skateboarding practitioners can use for their program planning, organizational development, fundraising, capacity building, and strategic planning.  

For this survey looking back at 2024, we revised some questions to collect more accurate data, for example collecting annual (rather than weekly) participant figures for the first time, to better capture the reach of all social skate initiatives – including those which operate outside of a weekly/daily programming model. We also added questions about: skateboarding-related injuries; geographic reach (local versus international); and collected exact annual budget data instead of budget ranges. 

Most notably, this survey featured an optional section at the end to collect shared participant impact data for the very first time, based on the Goodpush “Collective Theory of Change” that was co-developed by 50 social skateboarding initiatives throughout 2024. The results give us first-of-a-kind data on the collective impact social skate projects have in terms of providing their participants with: fun, safe spaces, confidence, new skills, friendship, and wellbeing. 

Note: This year’s survey was available to complete in Portuguese and English. We will also be releasing a Portuguese version of the Survey Report PDF very soon!
 

Overview of Key Results:

These survey results will help to shape how the Goodpush Alliance serves and supports the social skateboarding community worldwide in 2025 and beyond. We also encourage you to use this data to support and position your own organization or research as part of a global movement of skateboarding-for-good.

A big thank you to all the projects that completed the 2024 Social Skate Survey:
