Groundswell Community Project is a non profit corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes, specifically to build a creative community that fosters healing and empowerment through engagement with self and each other through the outdoors and arts. We further our purposes under this program by conducting the following activities: small group therapy programs facilitated by licensed therapist and trauma informed surf coach aiming to build emotional awareness, increased resilience, sense of belonging, improved body image and self efficacy. We held 3 programs in 2020 in the US benefiting 70 women from marginalized populations (refugee, homeless, DV) and a 2 month long program for young women in Peru supporting 60 girls and 10 women. No Plastic November Campaign estimated engaging 60 participants directly and 1500 community members indirectly in environmental awareness activities.
