Background: Skateistan was founded in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2008 and now has chapters all over the world. In the fall of 2021, the organization made the hard decision to suspend their operations in Afghanistan for the safety of their staff due to the political unrest in the area. But beginning in 2022, Skateistan has been able to run programs in Afghanistan again! Join us to learn about the next stages of Skateistan鈥檚 goals for Afghanistan!
