City Surf Project

CSP was featured in a national piece on the Today Show a while back, and we couldn’t be more stoked! What a thrill and an honor it is to have the CSP story broadcast to a national audience, and to share our mission of providing equitable access to the coastline while improving the #health & #wellbeing of youth through the transformative power of #surfing! A special thanks to our government partner agencies, including California Coastal Commission, California State Coastal Conservancy, San Francisco Department of Children, Youth and Their Families (DCYF), and Parks California for making our programs possible. And, shoutout to GoPro for helping us capture so much great footage in the water. https://lnkd.in/grq7hkjH

City Surf Project has connected 3,000+ youth with the ocean over the past 10 years, and we're not stopping any time soon! With your help, we know that the next 10 years will be transformative for us and the students we serve. We have ambitious plans to deepen our impact and grow deeper roots in our community in 2025, including: ?? Increase our reach: serve more students with cognitive and physical disabilities. ?? Expand our relationships with schools: add a weekly Surfing 101 program to another public school. ?? Deepen connections with our students: increase engagement with students, creating a comprehensive pathway for at least five past participants to be hired as Alumni Surf Coaches each year. CSP provides our students with everything they need to get in the water, from transportation and wetsuits to snacks and relatable surf coaches to push them into their first waves. This wouldn't be possible without the strong support from our community! As our programs have expanded, so have our needs. This holiday season we hope to raise $150,000 to help us as we work to increase in our reach, expand our relationships with schools, and deepen our connections with students in 2025.

“I remember just touching that water and feeling like I was meant to be in that water.” - Rosa, CSP student As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we reflect on how far we've come and how much we've accomplished. We've served over 3,000 youth, bringing many of them to the beach for the very first time. Our programs are not just teaching young people to be surfers, but to be leaders. And we're not finished yet! The transformational power of surfing and the deep connection our youth feel with the ocean will continue to change lives as we aim to deepen our roots and expand our programming. Check out this epic video, filmed and produced by the incredible Nicholas Paz, and help us sustain the stoke for years to come by spreading the word or making a donation at https://lnkd.in/g5xFdj_h

We. Won't. Stop. While we don’t know what the next four years have in store for our nation or our city, we know that we will never stop doing our work. City Surf Project will continue to provide equitable access to the beach and coastline for Bay Area youth. Now more than ever, we know how important it is to provide safe spaces for all students, no matter their background, to connect with community, nature, and themselves.

Our 10th Anniversary Benefit Concert was better than we could have imagined!
