Welcome to Surf For Life

Surf For Life is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Surf For Life sponsors educational and community driven development projects in coastal communities. We achieve this through engagement of motivated individuals and groups who fully participate in the construction of these projects.

 

Surf For Life just returned from another successful trip to El Cuco, El Salvador with a group of volunteers and completed the town’s very first high school! Check out the video:


 

Volunteer to build a high school in Manzanillo, Nicaragua.

In early spring 2013, Surf For Life and Waves of Hope are partnering to build a sustainable high school in Manzanillo, a small community in northern Nicaragua. Volunteer projects start in early spring 2013, and there are a limited number of openings available so please register or donate now if you want to lend a hand! Trips start in late February/early March, 2013. For more information, please visit the Nicaragua project page.

The first high school in El Cuco, El Salvador is complete!

Surf For Life is thrilled to announce that the El Cuco, El Salvador high school construction was completed in August 2012, thanks to the hard work and support of our dedicated volunteers. In the spring of 2013, we’ll start building a foot bridge near Las Flores to help children get to school when rainy season rolls in. To learn more about the El Cuco bridge project, please visit the El Cuco 2013 project page.
