In 2013 WAVES International introduced the WAVES Corps. Think of it as part short term Peace Corps for surfers, part Boot Camp training for aspiring International Development workers. In it’s essence, it’s small group mobilization for sustainable surf tourism that culminates with time abroad.
Welcome to the WAVES Corps Volunteer Resource Section
This section of the website is a tool for student leaders and volunteers to use in preparation for every WAVES Corps mission and project. A WAVES Corps mission is a short term exploration of the community through the lens of one of the WAVES Programs. Throughout this section, you will find instructions on everything from establishing a chapter on your campus to recruiting volunteers, from holding information sessions to preparing for your mission. These resources, along w/ your Corps Advisor, will be the ultimate resource in establishing your chapter, and planning your mission.
What is a WAVES Corps Chapter Leader?
A Chapter leader is the Chapter President who is working to start a WAVES Corps chapter or is coordinating a mission to an already existing WAVES Corps chapter. Being a Chapter Leader is an opportunity to establish and refine leadership skills, mobilize like-minded individuals, have fun and surf great waves. If this sounds like your cup of tea, get in touch with our Corps Advisor who helps along the way.
