We are very excited to announce the 4th annual Pushing Against Racism (PAR) Fund, which aims to financially support and strengthen diversity and inclusion within the social skateboarding community worldwide.

We’re thrilled to announce the first-ever Open Boarders Sibling Fund—a seed funding and support program designed to connect like-minded skateboarding initiatives that engage displaced communities.

Since 2018, Skateistan has been running and publishing an annual Survey of Social Skateboarding Projects Worldwide – tracking the aims, activities, trends, and progress of skateboarding for social change on the global level.

The 1st shared measurement framework for the social skateboarding has just been launched.

Fundraising can be daunting, especially for grassroots skateboarding projects and organizations. But with the right tools and time, you can set up the systems you need to make a lasting impact.

This October, we had the chance to represent the ROLL Models program at the inaugural Connect Skaturbanism Festival in Bordeaux. We teamed up with other non-traditional skaters to push for inclusion and safer spaces at the festival.

The Monster Mood Cards can be used at the beginning and end of skate sessions or on a longer-term basis to see if attending skate programs helps improves overall wellbeing. Perfect for demonstrating the positive effect of skate programs!

What happens when you bring 21 women and non-binary skaters together for a week of workshops at the ROLL Models Leadership Camp? A whole lot of joy, bonding, and early-morning dancing on the streets of Paris!

The Pushing Against Racism working group recently hosted a webinar on DIY Organizational Anti-Racism, featuring four guest speakers and a new self-assessment resource.

Over the past 18 months, the Open Boarders Network has been working quietly behind the scenes to address the challenges and opportunities of including displaced youth in skateboarding programs worldwide.
