Lead the Movement. Protect Virginia's Coast.
The Surfrider Foundation Virginia Chapter is powered by volunteers. Every beach cleanup, policy victory, community event, and educational program begins with people who care enough to step up. If you're passionate about protecting our ocean, waves, beaches, and waterways, we'd love to invite you to join our Executive Committee!
