Volunteer with us
We’re now taking applications for the 2023 volunteering programme.
Join us for a month or two between April and September 2023 and help with the running of skateboarding classes!
Based either in Asira Ash-Shamaliya or Ramallah, you’ll be helping local skaters with the running of skateboarding classes for the local community. Some skateboarding experience is required, but you don’t have to be an expert - as long as you’re comfortable teaching others!
We especially encourage applications from female skaters to support the growing scene in Palestine - our participants' gender split is around 41% female : 59% male and we’re hoping to keep bringing it closer to 50:50 or beyond.
Volunteers who speak Arabic will be prioritised, but we’re open to anyone willing to learn as they go!

If you’re based in Palestine and interested in volunteering, contact our Local Manager, Aram Sabbah directly.
‘Skateboarding is a HUGE distraction from everything. It’s something I do not only do to enjoy, but to learn many things about, basically anything from new experiences to meeting new people to being exposed to cultures and ideas.’
- Kareem, local volunteer in Ramallah
‘So freakin rad being in Palestine and meeting so many people and hearing about their experiences. It’s easily the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done and I’m so beyond grateful for the experience.’
- Keisha, SkatePal volunteer, US
‘The whole experience was everything I’d hoped for and more – the generosity of the people in Asira is something I keep returning to in my mind, and I already miss the place.’
- Michael, SkatePal volunteer
Volunteer in London
We’re working together with Akwaaba, a social centre for migrants based in Stoke Newington, hosting bi-weekly, volunteer-run skateboarding classes for young people. If you’re interested in getting involved, get in touch.
*Since COVID-19 restrictions all activities are currently on hold. Please contact us if you’d like to be involved in the future.*
