“I support Skateistan because I believe skateboarding can be a catalyst for positive change especially among children.”

“The community aspect of skateboarding has changed my life. Through skateboarding I've met people from different backgrounds that I probably wouldn't have otherwise met. It's really opened my eyes to the rest of the world.”

“I believe skateboarding instills a positive drive to learn, create, progress and is an amazing outlet to really push and challenge yourself. Plus of course, it builds up confidence! All of this still resonates in me to this day.”

“I find Skateistan’s mission beautiful, and if my boards can help pay for the skate school, well that’s a good reason to make them!”

“I support Skateistan because they give children a safe and happy place to be. One of the most amazing things about Skateistan is almost half the kids that go are girls!”

“Skateistan has been able to overcome problems that no one else has. They have been able to reach at-risk individuals in some of the most troubled areas of the world.”

“I can't imagine not having access to skateboarding. Skateistan shares skateboarding with so many children worldwide, empowering young girls in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa.”

“I support Skateistan because I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to be whoever they want to be. Skateboarding always brings people together, and I'm so glad for the work Skateistan is doing to help children around the world, and for giving them the chance to skate.”

“When you have divisions in society, cultural divisions and religious divisions and you put everyone into skatepark or into something that's positive, it breaks down walls.”

“Skateboarding to me means endless progression. It's an outlet where you can have fun and not think about anything else for the moment, meet amazing people and constantly be learning something new.”

“I think it's the amount of love that people have for skating that blinds us from seeing anything else but a skater regardless of where they come from.”

“Community is the foundation of skateboarding, making us one.”

“The self-empowerment that skateboarding can provide to young girls around the world is unparalleled. I support Skateistan because every day they are working to create a brighter future for women that I am proud to be a part of.”

“Skateboarding creates a passion that teaches the person to get up and try again. These qualities can then be applied in life, in education, work and hardship!”
