Teach surfing to disadvantaged youth on Cape Town's beaches as part of a mentorship and life-skills program. Volunteers work with local coaches to run sessions, build confidence, and open ocean opportunities to children who would otherwise have no access. One of Cape Town's most joyful and impactful volunteer roles. Fee includes volunteer house dormitory accommodation, three meals Monday to Friday and breakfast on weekends, airport pickup, surf equipment and lessons for your full stay, in-country orientation, and 24/7 emergency support.
You'll continue to the organization's website. Volentroop does not charge a booking fee.
