Thank You, Volunteers!

The Surfrider Foundation is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's ocean, waves, and beaches, for all people, through a powerful activist network.

The powerful activist network is at the heart of our mission and this network is powered by volunteers- each local chapter is made up of volunteers who are living, working, and playing in their local community. These volunteers are the eyes and ears of the organization, they know what the local issues are, what their communities care about, and have the relationships to make things happen.

Here in California, we have 16 chapters, powered by nearly 200 chapter leaders, and 10,000+ members! These inspiring individuals are working up and down our coast to protect (and enjoy!) our ocean, waves, and beaches and we are so grateful for all of their efforts and so inspired by all of their impacts.

Thank you to all of our Surfrider Volunteers! 

We couldn’t do this work without you.
