Volunteer and Clinic Info
Thank you for wanting to help us bring the healing power of the ocean and adaptive surfing to our participants. These clinics are not possible without your help. All of our participants are counting on you to be at the clinic(s) you signed up for, so please let us know as soon as possible if there is any chance you may not be able to make it to the event. please email boardmembers@ampsurf.org. As we get closer to the date of the clinic you signed up for we will send out updates to let everyone know how the clinic is coming together and if there is any pertinent info that needs to be passed. Below is the goal we have for our clinics and the clinic schedule. Please be sure to come on time and be ready to have one of the greatest experiences of your life.
Goal: One in five Americans struggle with a lifelong disability and nearly two million men and women have served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan, and are coming home looking for ways to feel whole again and to fit back in to normal life. Whether they are an amputee, hearing or visually impaired, suffer from PTSD, or have quadriplegia. Whether they served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf war, Iraq or Afghanistan. Whether they are a child with autism, or a young woman who has lost a limb to cancer, AmpSurf offers a unique program to bring the healing power of the ocean and adaptive surfing together for an experience that is both mentally and physically one of the best forms of rehabilitation on the planet. Our goal is simple, we want to help our disabled veterans, adults & children focus on their abilities not their disabilities. To do this we strive to Promote, Inspire, Educate and Rehabilitate (PIER™) these great Americans and the public by providing a quality program and the opportunity for the participants and volunteers to come together and feel the joy & healing of the ocean and surfing. AmpSurf™ has been providing our Learn to Surf Clinics and we have served hundreds of our disabled veterans, adults and children who probably never would have had this experience if it hadn’t been for our program.
