Free surfing lessons & classes every Saturday for women and girls from marginalized Dominican communities. Our participants receive surfing instruction from experienced local surfers, emphasizing the connection between riding the waves, our emotional wellbeing, and respecting the ocean. We ensure to remove barriers that exist for locals to access the ocean by providing transportation, childcare, and post-surf snack.

We host climate justice workshops once a month that trace the connections between mountain forests, rivers, and coral reefs—offering an ecosystem-wide view of environmental health and community well-being. Our most recent project has been focused on planting mangrove seedlings in the Lagunas de Cabarete y Goleta. This lagoon is the backyard of all the women and girls in Yemaya and it is in urgent need of mangrove forest restoration. Mangroves stabilize the Dominican Republic’s coastline, prevent erosion, and protect against storm surges.
