The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of our world’s oceans, waves, and beaches through a powerful activist network.

There are 80 chapters and over 100 youth clubs in the Surfrider network. Most chapters are entirely volunteer-run, with an Executive Committee leading the way. However, a handful of chapters in the country have extra support from staff, and we are fortunate to have a full-time Mid-Atlantic regional manager.

• If you are interested in partnering on an event or beach cleanup, please contact our cleanup coordinator (cleanupcoordinator@dc.surfrider.org)
• If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator (volunteercoordinator@dc.surfrider.org)
• For donations, please contact our Treasurer (treasurer@dc.surfrider.org)

   

  Whether you want to join our chapter or participate in a cleanup, your involvement with us lends an important hand in tackling issues affecting our oceans, rivers, and beaches. Below are some ways to get involved.
