THANKS TO OUR BASEMENTEERS WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE $2,700 TO BROWN GIRL SURF IN 2022!

These funds will be used to support Brown Girl Surf's community surf programming and advocacy efforts.
 

  
Brown Girl Surf works to build a more diverse, environmentally reverent, and joyful women’s, girl’s, and gender expansive surf culture by increasing access to surfing, cultivating community, amplifying the voices of surfers of color, and taking care of the earth.
 

OUR VALUES ARE EXPRESSED THROUGH OUR BROWN GIRL SURF HUMANIFESTO:
 

PLAY

We play to be free, connected, and rejuvenated.

COMMUNITY

We are a community that takes care of each other by keeping each other safe, encouraging each other, and including everyone.

EMPOWERMENT

We are strong in our bodies and our minds, and invent ourselves in our own images.

ENVIRONMENT

We care for and respect the ocean and land. We show gratitude for the gifts of nature.

EXPRESSION THROUGH ARTS

We use art to celebrate ourselves and our community

GRATITUDE

We practice gratitude to heal and find peace.

We have four strategies for executing our mission:
 

Voice

We amplify the voices of girls, women, and gender expansive surfers of color, both within our community, in the broader surf culture, and in the world at large.

Community

We build a sense of community through our beach programs, our on-land events (screenings, outings, conservation actions) and through our mode of operating, which engages volunteers, families, and participants as key effectors of change.

Conservation

Central to our holistic curriculum is cultivating a sense of interconnectedness and care for the earth, both on an emotional level, and through the actions we take to protect it. We conduct stewardship projects, nature education, and environmental actions both within our surf programs, and as stand-alone activities throughout the year.

Access

We create access to surfing and to the ocean, by providing logistical, financial, and cultural support through our programs, outings, and conservation actions.
