Become A Volunteer Today

Join The Largest Network Of Coastal Defenders In The World

Our volunteers are the lifeblood of the Surfrider Foundation.

Help us tackle the issues that face our ocean, waves and beaches. 

Being a surfer is NOT required to be a Surfrider activist!
If you’re passionate about the ocean, our coastline, clean water, or beach accessibility, 
Surfrider is the perfect place to find community and support around taking action!
