Volunteerism is the life blood of the grassroots Surfrider Foundation USA with its 60+ volunteer-driven chapters located along the East, West, Gulf, Puerto Rican, and Hawaiian coasts. See our "Volunteering" Menu Book" for how to volunteer at a Surfrider Foundation Chapter. Go to our Surfrider Chapters page to find the closest chapter near you. At the chapter-level, there are all kinds of volunteer activities to do, from beach cleanups to water testing to educational presentations to writing newsletters to attending city council meetings to many other things.

At the Surfrider Foundation National Office in San Clemente, CA, summer internships are available. Also, volunteers are always needed. Call 949-492-8170 or email membership@surfrider.org about volunteer opportunities at the national office.
