Operated by Goodpush, the ROLL Models programme is designed to support and create visibility for diverse women leaders within skateboarding and to fund the projects they’ve designed — so that the next generation of girls and gender-diverse youth can build confidence, community, and life skills on and off their skateboards. Through a partnership with Women Win, Goodpush offer ROLL Models grantees a seed-grant of up to €3000 to fund their project idea, a place at the annual Leadership Camp in Berlin, and support and guidance from Skateistan and Women Win. One of our 2023 grantees was Pirkanmaan Kaarikoirat Ry.
Pirkanmaan Kaarikoirat Ry acts on social sustainability, promoting skateboarding ecosystem and infrastructure in Tampere region of Finland, by providing facilities and teaching in skateboarding. The NGO works in close collaboration with the city of Tampere, schools and other educational institutions and youth and social organizations offering various possibilities to education, vocational training and employment for unemployed young people
