Surfrider Foundation

Our irreplaceable national network of chapter volunteers serves as the first response to local threats in coastal communities across the US. They are the boots on the ground who collaborate on both the local and national levels with regional staff and issue experts to carry out our mission through campaigns, programs, and educational initiatives in their local communities. Our network grows stronger with every chapter we add. The Surfrider Foundation launched the Student Club Network in 2008 in response to overwhelming interest across the country from young people who wished to become more involved in the Surfrider Foundation’s activities on their campuses and communities. The program has grown to a wide range of activities including organizing school clubs and initiatives based on project-based learning. These range from beach cleanups to eliminating single-use plastics on-campus to greening campuses.
