Youth leaders in Kabul, Afghanistan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Skateistan<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oliver Percovich, founder and executive director<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skateistan<\/span><\/a>, the top winner at the<\/span> Berlin Creator Awards<\/span><\/a>, started in 2007 when Percovich, a lifelong skater, moved to Kabul, Afghanistan, for his wife\u2019s job and brought a few boards along with him. The hobby caught on quickly with the local children\u2014boys and girls alike\u2014and he launched a brand-new program: youth empowerment through skating and schools. Ten years later, the nonprofit with 80 full-time staff now runs schools (with skate parks) in Afghanistan, Cambodia, and South Africa. And, yes, Tony Hawk is a member of the board.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is skateboarding important for girls in Afghanistan?<\/b>
Any of the sports that were happening, it was all boys. But somehow, the girls were skateboarding. It was a loophole: No one had actually thought to ban it yet. I jumped on that opportunity and I gave the girls more time on the skateboards than the boys, and naturally they became better skateboarders than the boys!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan, there\u2019s a greater concentration of female skateboarders than anywhere else in the world. There\u2019s nowhere else in the world where 500 girls come every week to skateboard. And that\u2019s in Afghanistan, where girls can\u2019t play sports, where other NGOs find it really, really hard to work.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you keep the girls going to school?<\/b>
We\u2019ve always put way more resources in getting to that 50 percent girls mark. We have separate days for boys and girls in order to get the buy-in from the community. We provide transport for the girls to come and go from our skate school. We do home visits for the girls if they don\u2019t turn up to class and follow up with the families. We did over 1,000 home visits in Afghanistan last year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The girl that became the first female skateboard instructor was pulled out of school by her parents when she was 11 years old. The parents just needed money. They saw those two hours she would go to school as hampering her income-earning ability. So I made a deal with the parents where I made her a skateboard instructor and paid her $1 per session. We got her back to school, and that got me back to thinking: maybe there\u2019s more that could happen.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Malala Fund<\/strong><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Farah Mohamed, CEO<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malala Yousafzai, the world-renowned advocate for girls\u2019 right to education, established\u00a0<\/span>The Malala Fund<\/span><\/a> in 2013. The nonprofit, which has an office at\u00a0D.C.’s <\/span>WeWork Dupont Circle<\/span><\/a>, focuses on girls\u2019 secondary education in countries where most girls are out<\/span> of school, such as\u00a0Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and countries which house Syrian refugees, including Lebanon and Jordan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What motivates your organization?<\/b>
Malala is the youngest Nobel Laureate and well-known around the world. But she<\/span> would be the first to tell you that awards and recognition mean nothing to her if they don\u2019t help girls go to school. We believe girls are our future leaders, creators, and self-starters. But 130 million girls are denied an education today.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your approach?<\/b>
The Malala Fund wants to speed up progress on girls\u2019 education. To do this, we\u2019re investing in educators and activists working in countries where most girls are out of school.<\/span> Local leaders are best-placed to identify and solve challenges facing<\/span> girls in their communities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local leaders are best-placed to identify and solve challenges facing girls in their communities.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the impact so far?<\/b>
We\u2019re in our fourth year of operations. Already we\u2019ve<\/span> impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of girls. But there are millions more<\/span> out of school. We\u2019re ready to build on our early successes and scale our work to<\/span> speed up progress for the next generation of leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Saeed Jabbar, founder and instructor<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Started in New York City,\u00a0<\/span>Inclusion<\/span><\/a> works to close the digital divide by providing underserved populations with the training, skills, and access they need to pursue careers in technology. Headquartered in New York City’s\u00a0WeWork Studio Square<\/a>, the nonprofit just celebrated its sixth graduating class on October 4 with an event keynoted by WeWork Co-founder Miguel McKelvey<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you do to get women to 50 percent in your classrooms?<\/b>
This year, we\u2019ve moved all our ad spend on Facebook and Instagram to target only women. Even though that costs twice as much, it\u2019s played a key role. I\u2019ve always made it my goal to get over the 50 percent level. With this last class that graduated, we had 60 percent. We made it an active, conscious choice, especially for underserved women in communities across New York City, like Far Rockaway.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve moved all our ad spend on Facebook and Instagram to target only women.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If a small organization like us can pull it off, I see no reason why these bigger companies can\u2019t. It just takes someone within the organization to stand up and say, \u201cI\u2019m going to do this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you choose to focus on women?<\/b>
Women are more likely to finish the class and are more committed. You start to see the impact with their families. They can afford better apartments and buy cars.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a small organization like us can pull it off, I see no reason why these bigger companies can\u2019t.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What happens when classrooms don\u2019t have an equal balance of men and women?<\/b>
When there\u2019s only one or two women in the class, they feel intimidated and guys start to hit on them. They feel much more comfortable knowing there\u2019s a support structure there for them. Their confidence grows when they\u2019re not the only one. They start to use the buzzwords and feel like they\u2019re part of this tech ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
