<p><strong>Key areas that we're focusing on are:</strong></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 dir="ltr">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 dir="ltr">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 dir="ltr">In 2019, the Goodpush Alliance 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. <a href="www.goodpush.org/contact">Sign up for the Goodpush newsletter</a> for updates on these opportunities!</p>
