WAW is an international and independent non-profit organization built to help make skateboarding accessible worldwide, by developing skateparks in areas of the world where they are not present and supporting the communities pivoting around the facilities.

Access to healthy activities and play is not a luxury, it\u2019s a necessity.
There are multiple academic studies that consistently show the positive aspects of this field. A vast number of studies show how skateboarding is building up the youths globally across all social cultural and economic backgrounds. Unlike most sports, which emphasize winning and competition, skateboarding is an activity where people of all body types, ages, genders and backgrounds can feel welcome.\u2028<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tSeemingly, skateboard parks represent one outlet among other programs and facilities offered by community recreation centers that can address a growing problem of youth inactivity (Goldenberg & Shooter, 2009:1). In addition, integrated urban skate spots are also seen to \u2018provide a legitimate, inclusive space for young people who share a common interest to gather, relax, recreate, socialize and express themselves in a safe and informal environment\u2019 while participating in an activity that is important to them\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tEngaging outdoor environments\u00a0 such as skateparks are great places for kids to\u00a0 interact with one another and build vital social and interpersonal skills.\u00a0When a skatepark is built, a community develops around it. This community gives them a valuable sense of belonging. When they show up to the skatepark, race, gender and age are all thrown out the window.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
