Abstract #
This case outlines the development of an international non-government organization (NGO) called Skateistan, its launch of the Goodpush Alliance, and the NGO’s approach to support a global community of skateboarding-for-youth-development programs spanning 60 countries through social marketing. The NGO principally operates in disadvantaged communities where children and youth are particularly at risk of exclusion from education. Their programs use skateboarding as a tool to engage youth to enter school, and to develop community and leadership skills.
