Are you a registered social skate charity/NGO responding to an existing need in your community? Then apply now for THE SKATEROOM’s Social Skate Project 2024.
THE SKATEROOM’s mission is rooted in social impact and they would not have been able to achieve it on such a vast scale, if it wasn’t for their close partnerships with over 40 inspiring social skate projects around the world.
Focus Areas
- There are four key criteria they focus on when considering candidates.
- Gender Equity – Ensuring participation of girls and all gender expansive identities is a priority of each project through programming, initiatives, and staff representation.
- Inclusion of Minority Populations – Identified minorities will change depending on the political context and geography of each location. Social partners must strive to break any social barriers that may prevent any participants from accessing their programming. Social partners must demonstrate action based initiatives that target persons facing any kind of social exclusion to encourage them to participate in their programs.
- Economic Empowerment – Social partners need to ensure the sustainability and longevity of their projects by demonstrating local investment.
- Project Sustainability – Partners must demonstrate diversification of funding, short term and long term development goals, financial policy, and financial reserves. Investment in staff and capacity building is critical.
