Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Waves for Change provides a child-friendly mental health service to at-risk youth living in unstable communities. Through access to safe spaces, caring mentors, and a provision of weekly Surf Therapy sessions, Waves for Change gives children skills to cope with stress, regulate behavior, build healing relationships, and make positive life choices.
Waves for change foundation ltd. Raises funding for surf therapy organizations in unstable communities that experience high levels of violence and poverty. We provide a safe place for children to improve well-being regardless of their race, ethnicity, or religion. To maximize our impact on current efforts, we may seek to collaborate with other non-profit organizations which fall under the 501(c) (3) section of the internal revenue code and are operated exclusively for educational and charitable purposes.
