  • VOLUNTEER

    Nothing is stronger than the heart of a volunteer. Many volunteers say that assisting Ride a Wave is one of the most rewarding things they've ever done. Our amazing team helped over 500 kids enjoy the ocean in 2007. Don't worry, you don't have to know how to surf to help make a life-changing impact on a child with disabilities!

    Ride a Wave is a 501(C)(3) non-profit funded entirely through donations, grants, and sponsorships. There are no paid positions at Ride a Wave and free to participate, so every dollar that you are able to give goes directly to the program.
