About Program
Join the Surfpop family as a volunteer and make a positive impact in the lives of the Surfpop children from township communities around Muizenberg, Cape Town.
As a volunteer you support our team every afternoon as surf coach in the waves and as tutor in our classrooms. In the mornings, we teach you how to surf and show you the most beautiful and historical spots around Cape Town. You stay in a surf hostel right on the beachfront in Muizenberg, the "surf mecca" of Cape Town. In the words of one of our recent volunteers, "Surfpop offers the perfect mix between spending time with the children and exploring Cape Town while also improving your own surfing. I made so many incredible memories and learned a lot about life"

Program Impact
Our program has been designed in such a manner that volunteers are integral to the success of our program. We basically can't run our program without them, therefore volunteers create maximum impact during their stay with Surfpop. During the course of a month, volunteers are involved in between 8-12 educations sessions during which they tutor the children; 8-12 surf session during which they act as surf instructors to the children, and they are also involved in Life Skills sessions.
