We invite you to volunteer with the San Mateo Chapter and help us to achieve our mission to protect our coast, beaches, waves and ocean for everyone to enjoy! Please consider participating in a beach cleanup or working with us on one of our programs.
Donate directly to the San Mateo Chapter to support our efforts and help fund our local programs. Your contribution will help us safeguard the health of our ocean waters and beaches.
We need people like you who want to make sure our oceans, waves, and beaches are protected and preserved for generations to come. Sign up for a Surfrider Foundation membership, or renew your existing membership and make a difference for our oceans, waves, and beaches.
Our Mission
The Surfrider Foundation is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s ocean, waves and beaches through a powerful activist network.
The Surfrider Foundation staff of nearly 50 people help support our chapter network in their campaigns, champion for policy and fight legal battles for our coasts, bring awareness to the issues facing our ocean, provide critical support on stuff like accounting, technology, and HR, and raise money to make all of this happen. We have an appetite for adventure and we all share a common passion – we love and appreciate our ocean, waves and beaches.
