<p dir="ltr">When we launched our call for new Goodpush partners this year we had no idea how many initiatives using skateboarding for social change would be interested to apply. In the end, we were overwhelmed and excited to receive more than 65 applications from 30 countries!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr">It has been amazing to see the quality and diversity of work being done by organizations using skateboarding for good around the world. We would love to be able to work directly with them all but in the end we had the very difficult task of choosing our top three.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr">We are proud to announce the following 2019 Goodpush Partners:</p>

<ul>
	<li dir="ltr">

</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

	</li>
</ul>

<p dir="ltr">If your project wasn’t selected, there are others ways to be an active member of the Goodpush Alliance!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr">One thing that was clear from all of the social skate projects that applied was that there is a huge interest in opportunities to collaborate with each other and share knowledge. One of the key aims of the Goodpush Alliance is to connect social skate projects with each other through events and our online platforms.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p dir="ltr">With this in mind, we are stoked to launch our very first Goodpush webinar! We’ll be kicking off with the very important topic of Child Protection, developed in response to the dozens of skateboarding for good projects that would like to improve their child safety knowledge and practices.</p>
