Meet the Los Angeles Team

The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of our world's oceans, waves, and beaches through a powerful activist network. There are 80 chapters and 100 youth clubs in the Surfrider network. The Los Angeles Chapter is one of the most active chapters in the Surfrider network.

With only two staff members in our chapter, Surfrider's work is largely made possible by the work of incredible volunteers on our Executive Committee, Program Leadership team and Core Volunteer network.
