Surf & Durf - Volunteer community
Surf & Durf, a foundation offering surf therapy for vulnerable youth, struggles to meet demand and find volunteers. A key solution is partnering with HZ University, allowing students to earn credits through volunteering, with further strategies suggested to attract more volunteers and expand their impact in Domburg, Scheveningen, and Katwijk.

About this project
| Start date: | 02/03/2025 |
|---|---|
| Project description: | Surf & Durf is a foundation which has the goal of reaching as many vulnerable children & young adults as possible in the region of Walcheren to provide them “Growth on the waves”, an important program to help children’s personal development. At their location in Domburg, they receive many applications for surf therapy every year, and they are having trouble meeting that demand. They have little insight into where they can find potential volunteers. |
| Outcomes: | The most important solution for finding volunteers was involving the HZ Students can participate in various extra activities so they can earn HZPersonality points. Different study programs have this extra space of credits, which students need to obtain at least by the end of their studies. The final report which was handed to the client, explains more options to be explored by the client in order to attract those volunteers and make sure Surf & Durf can be a success in Domburg as well as in Schevingen and Katwijk. |
