<p>Key areas that we're focusing on are:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Child protection and safety</li>
	<li>Inclusion of girls and children with special needs</li>
	<li>Integrating skateboarding with educational outcomes</li>
	<li>And building a network of support among social skate projects.</li>
</ul>

<p>Skate NGOs are continuously innovating to have a bigger impact in their communities, and by working together we can strengthen each other’s work, increase the data showing our impact, and build support for all projects using skateboarding as a tool for youth development.</p>

<p>The Goodpush vision is to become a network for the 100+ social skate projects worldwide, promoting joint knowledge-sharing and collaboration.</p>

<p>During Goodpush's pilot phase in 2018 we selected three partners for a $5000 award and tailored consulting: Make Life Skate Life (global), 7Hills (Jordan), and SkateQilya (Palestine). Over a six month period, our partners came to Skateistan Cambodia for a weeklong workshop, hosted a Goodpush training visit to their project location, and took part in support calls with Skateistan staff.</p>

<p>In 2019, Goodpush will announce a call for applications to attend the first Goodpush conference at one of our skate schools, and to apply for the Goodpush awards. Sign up for the Goodpush newsletter for updates on these opportunities!</p>
