Women's Outreach Mentorship Program (WOMP) empowers underserved teen girls through a unique combination of mentorship, surfing, and education. The program addresses barriers to ocean access caused by economic and social inequality, even in coastal communities. Each participant is paired with an adult mentor and engages in weekly surf sessions led by trained instructors. Sessions begin with guest-led discussions on topics such as ocean safety, menstrual health, body positivity, and surf therapy. WOMP fosters confidence, community, and a lasting connection to the ocean, while promoting inclusivity and leadership among young women.
