Volunteer for Surfers for Autism
The local chapter of Surfers for Autism is presenting its 14th annual Beach Surf Festival at St. Pete Beach on Saturday, Sept. 5 from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. and welcomes anyone to volunteer.
The mission of Surfers for Autism is to enrich the lives of children and adults living with autism and other development delays by providing free surf experiences in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment.
Volunteers are needed for a variety of roles, and surfing experience is not required. Water volunteers will be in the water about waist deep assisting surfers on their boards and gliding them into the waves towards the beach.
Experienced surfers are always needed to be Team Leaders and head a crew of volunteers in the water.
On land, help is needed with registration, assisting the food service and beach safety teams, or being a part of the beach cheer squad.
Volunteer check-in is at 8 a.m. and a volunteer meeting will be held at 8:45 a.m. Everyone will receive a free lunch.
Appropriate beach wear, sun shirts and hats are recommended.
