The Adopt a Surfer Program inspires youth in remote areas to become coastal ambassadors while providing them with the opportunity to improve their surfing skills. The program links donors with local youth who have displayed a strong commitment to the project. As ambassadors in their community, they will pass on the knowledge gained from the program.

The environmental stewardship program educates youth about the negative impacts plastic and garbage have on their coastal eco-systems. The course provides opportunities for youth to participate in beach cleanups, promotes environmental practices and supports “green leadership” among youth in their communities. Our vision is to inspire people to act responsibly and to be 100% committed to their role as an environmental leader “every time they head to the beach.”

The program teaches youth basic remote first aid skills. Mexico is a hot country and access to clean water is limited. Understanding the important role water plays in preventing dehydration and infection is paramount. Educating youth about proper hydration methods and wound management skills will support healthier and more active communities. These skills will also have positive economical impacts in the community, since families that are taught basic prevention and first aid skills are more likely to avoid unnecessary health-care expenses.
