Soul Surfer (m/f) – a surfer with a flexible personality who is not only looking for the perfect wave or perfect wind, but who also cares about his environment, is interested in other cultures and who puts effort into realizing equal opportunities throughout the world.
Sport & Education
By means of sport and education Soul Surfers shows that sport development is an ideal tool in the battle against poverty. Practicing sports can be used for different development goals, for instance: to overcome trauma, to improve health, to promote gender equality and to educate about HIV/AIDS and for peace reconciliation. The projects that Soul Surfers support enable youth to create a better future for themselves as well as their community. This will be realized through stimulating a healthy lifestyle, personal development and the development of business skills (organization of events, development of small businesses and the guidance and the inspiration of more youth and children and their community). For every project that Soul Surfers supports, volunteers will put effort into creating a better future not for, but with local people. Ambassadors of Soul Surfers use their passion for sports to contribute from their home country as well as locally at the projects.
