THE SKATEROOM's mission is rooted in social impact and they wouldn't have been able to achieve it on such a vast scale if it weren't for their close partnerships with more than 40 inspiring social skateboarding projects around the world.

Areas of Expertise

• There are four key criteria they focus on when considering candidates.
  • Gender Equity - Ensuring the participation of girls and all gender identities is a priority for each project through programming, initiatives and staff representation.
  • Inclusion of Minority Populations - The minorities identified will change depending on the political context and geography of each location. Social partners should strive to break down any social barriers that may prevent any participant from accessing their programming. Social partners should demonstrate action-based initiatives aimed at people facing any kind of social exclusion to encourage them to participate in their programmes.
  • Empowerment economic - The social partners must ensure the sustainability and longevity of their projects by demonstrating local investment.
  • Project Sustainability - Partners must demonstrate diversification of funding, short- and long-term development objectives, financial policy and financial reserves. Investment in staff and training is essential.
