PURPOSE

SURF TO THE TURF is Surfrider Spirit Sessions’ annual golf fundraiser designed to offset costs of our youth mentoring programs. Our programs are designed to building healthy, resilient communities by supporting at-risk youth through holistic, ocean-based mentoring programs, experiential āina-based education and cultural activities.

Problem We Help Solve

Annually, there are thousands of youth struggling with challenges such as self-esteem/mental health issues, substance use, academic difficulties, difficulties with peer groups or in their home, interactions with the police/courts, removed from home and have experienced trauma, especially complex and long term/ongoing trauma.

Added on to these challenges, the pandemic has exacerbated many of the challenges our young people face due to extended periods of isolation, dependence on social media, and lack of physical activity and safe spaces to turn.  Youth need quality outdoor activities and opportunities to socialize more than ever.

Surfrider Spirit Sessions is a grassroots 501(c)3 non-profit organization that works with youth serving organizations, residential programs, case workers, school counselors, Hawai‘i Family Court judges, and parents/guardians to support our youth in reaching their full potential and remind them of the good they can contribute to our community.

Our Programs Work

Our partners and parents report a significant reduction in truancy and academic issues, drug use, violent outbursts, antisocial behavior, anxiety and an increase of connection with others, physical activity, social skills and healthier life choices rates among youth who participate in our program. To date we’ve helped over 1,300 youth get back on track. Your support will help us redirect young lives in positive directions!
