Volunteer Opportunities
Surfrider is not a Surfing Club
We are a grassroots environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's oceans, waves and beaches for all people, through conservation, activism, research and education.
There are many varied opportunities for anyone to volunteer at Surfrider Foundation's Mendocino Coast Chapter.
