HELP KIDS SURF

We Surf is a national, registered charity dedicated to a future where every child who wants to surf has the opportunity to do so, regardless of their circumstances, ability, or background, while building connections, fitness, resilience, and self-esteem. 

MISSION

At We Surf, our mission is simple — surfing is for everyone. No matter your background, ability or where you come from, there's a wave out there for you. We're here to make sure every kid gets the chance to find it.

WHAT WE DO

We provide We Surf sponsorships to kids who cannot afford surf lessons and are nominated by qualified surf schools across Australia that partner with We Surf. 

GET ON BOARD

Funding for We Surf scholarships comes from donations from businesses, community groups, governments, charities, and individuals, both nationally and locally to our surf school partners. Being a registered charity means that all donations are 100% tax-deductible. Go to the DONATE tab or contact us today to learn how you can donate or become a partner surf school. 

Testimonials

“My daughter was so thrilled to be offered a sponsorship with We Surf — it gave her confidence, made her feel included, and she learnt a new skill which she now does on her own. It's such an amazing opportunity, and we could never have afforded to give her something like this.”

— WE SURF PARENT, TWEED COAST

"We Surf gave our young people an experience they still talk about. The confidence and joy we saw out on the water were something we couldn't have replicated anywhere else. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the program to any organisation working with vulnerable youth."

— YOUTH WORKER, SUNSHINE COAST

"My son has struggled socially his whole life. Since joining We Surf, he lights up on beach days — he's made real friends and finally found something he's truly proud of. We can't thank the We Surf team enough."

— WE SURF PARENT, SUNSHINE COAST

We believe that the power of surfing can make a positive impact on the lives of young people in need.
