  • After-School Surfing and Leadership Classes

    We taught after-school surfing and leadership classes to 200 distinct youth. Each youth that participated went on an average of 10 surf outings. For the majority of the students, this was their first time participating in an ocean activity, and these lessons were given at no cost to the participants. Surfing offers an opportunity for students to exercise, get out of their comfort zone, and build their self-confidence.

  • Program 1 [2025]

    Youth Surfing: Programs consist of two separate program models, Intro to Surfing and Surfing 101, and serves 300 students per year. Youth Surfing serves middle and high school students, through partnerships with San Francisco Unified School District and community-based organizations. On average Youth Surfing conducts five surf outings a week and serves 12 different schools. Surfing allows students to accomplish something new and challenging, and see themselves and their peers from a different perspective. Summer Camps: Every summer, City Surf Project works to provide access to the ocean and surfing through week-long surf camps. During the summer we focus on Bay Area community-based partner organizations.

  • Program 2 [2025]

    Leadership Development Programs: City Surf Project offers leadership development programs for both high school and transitional-aged youth. These programs offer job skills, career exploration, personal growth, and mentorship. By investing in the leadership skills of youth participants, CSP is building a pipeline of young surfers who will continue to lead and grow the surf community and our organization.a. SILT Program: SILT (Surf Instructors in Leadership Training) is an internship program serving 12 high school students who have previously participated in a CSP Youth Surfing program. Students are trained to be successful surf instructors and mentors, including First Aid/CPR and lifeguard training. Students assist CSP core staff and Alumni Surf Coaches as junior surf instructors during our summer camps. At the end of the six-week program, SILTs receive a stipend for their summer work.b. Alumni Program: CSPs Alumni program uses two approaches to provide transitional aged youth (ages 18-24) access to surfing after high school. Alumni Surf Days are offered on a regular basis and are open to any former CSP Youth Surfing participants. CSP provides equipment, transportation, and snacks to facilitate surfing and connecting with peers. i.The Alumni Coach program offers up to two years of paid employment, professional development, and mentorship to 4-6 former CSP Youth Surfing participants. Alumni Coaches provide surf instruction during Youth Surfing Programs, and gain skills for working in an office and on a team.
