The World On Board!

We are an award-winning NGO, driving a global movement in skateboarding and creative learning. Bold, inclusive and playful, we do whatever it takes to create spaces where young people can learn, play, and shape their futures.

Skateistan means

land of skateboarding.

Our truly-international partnership model mobilizes funding, resources, knowledge and more for grassroots and established organizations all around the world. Each partnership is bespoke and unique to our partner’s needs.

By focusing on at-risk girls, BIPOC and migrant communities, we promote inclusivity, diversity, resilience and autonomy. Skateistan stretches across humanity, and anybody can be a citizen. All you've gotta' do is dig what we're about, and believe that everybody—regardless of race, gender, sexuality or push stance—is of equal worth.

In everything we do, we want to bring the world on board.
