WAVE ALLIANCE Org Mapping Survey

About your program and what you do

Thanks for your interest in joining the Waves for Change Starter Pack community. Our goal is to help you introduce a Surf Therapy programme for your community. You don't need to be a surfer, you just need a passion for youth and to be living in an ocean-side community.

Below are a series of questions that will help us better understand your current work. If you can't answer a question, or the question doesn't apply to your work, don't worry. Just leave it blank or click 'Doesn't apply'. There are no right answers. Think of this as your 'before' photo. The farther you have to journey, the more impressive your 'after' photo will be.

If you have any questions or want to let us know you've completed the survey, email matt@waves-for-change.org
