  VOLUNTEER CALL – SURFERS FOR AUTISM | SATURDAY, AUGUST 9 | JACKSONVILLE BEACH 
Hosted by the Jacksonville Jaycees

We’re excited to partner again with Surfers for Autism for one of the most meaningful and joyful days of the year — and we need your help to make it happen!

This all-day beach event gives children and adults with autism the chance to experience the thrill of surfing in a supportive, safe, and high-energy environment — and it doesn’t happen without dedicated local volunteers like YOU.

  WHERE WE NEED YOU:

  SETUP CREW: 6:30 AM – 8:30 AM
Be part of the backbone of the event! Help with:
• Popping tents
• Carrying tables
• Filling sandbags
(Bagels provided for early birds!)

  IN-WATER SUPPORT: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
No surf experience needed!
Volunteers work in pairs to:
• Walk surfers out into the water
• Help them get on the board
• Guide them into waves or ride alongside them
• Support and catch the board as they return to shore

Most surfers ride the board lying down like a boogie board, and your role is to help make it safe, fun, and memorable. You may get wet — but you will absolutely be uplifted.

  LAND-BASED SUPPORT:
Don’t want to get in the water? That’s fine too! We also need high-energy volunteers to:
• Cheer on surfers from shore
• Create excitement
• Offer support to families and attendees

  The Jacksonville Jaycees will have a tent on-site, so feel free to stop by, check in, and spend the day with a passionate group of community leaders and volunteers.

  Interested in joining us? Comment below or message us directly to sign up. Whether you can stay for a few hours or all day, your presence makes a difference.

Let’s show up for a cause that rides the waves of love, inclusion, and empowerment.
