Organization

Like every non-profit organization, Surfrider Foundation Europe has a structure which depends heavily on its volunteers’ involvement.

Surfrider Foundation is represented by a board of directors, managed by a team of full and part-time staff members, and aided by its far-reaching network of volunteers.

The members represent the foundation of Surfrider, giving to the organization its legitimacy and power.

Operations

Here is Surfrider's current organization between its members, board of directors and executive staff.

While members represent the organization’s foundation and give Surfrider its legitimacy and power, volunteers, who give us a helping hand, keep local chapters and activies running all year long.
