We are excited to announce the 2020 call for Goodpush Alliance partners! If you’re involved in a project using skateboarding for social change and you want to take things to the next level, we want to hear from you. Deadline to apply is April 15!
This year we’ll be choosing three new partners to get tailored support from the Skateistan team. We will provide selected partners with:
- Support calls / emails for their programming and organizational development challenges
- A $500 award to put towards their programs
- Safety gear for skateboard programming
Some of the key areas that we can provide support on are:
- Child protection and safety
- Inclusion of girls and children with disabilities
- Connecting skateboarding with education
- Measuring impact
- Sustainability: Fundraising, strategic planning, governance
We are looking for very motivated partners who are excited not just about learning, but also sharing their own innovative ideas and experience with other members of the Goodpush Alliance. Whether you’re in the early stages of your skate project or already well-advanced, we welcome you to apply!
