Volunteer

Welcome to THE KIND TRIBE

We at Gnome Surf need all kinds of help to make each season run smoothly! First time volunteers will typically be assigned to assist Athletes and families upon arrival, by carrying their gear and providing an overview of what to expect during their day. We also need help with Athlete and Volunteer check-in; distribution of free giveaways to Athlete families; special activities like our art station, yoga, music, and more; keeping the beach clean; wetsuits; safety; set-up and special events throughout the season. If you have a special skill you think may be helpful to Gnome Surf, please let us know!

P.S. Please consider making a donation today! Thousands of children NEED YOU!

We have surfed, created art, and participated in yoga with over 1200 families in an intimate setting.

100+ Volunteers have joined us at our therapeutic intimate camp settings.

Endless smiles, confidence, positivity, kindness and love. We teach out kids to spend joy and kindness to everyone they meet.
