Volunteer in a Beach Club

The Church Coordinator is the point of contact between the school, the Club, and KiDs Beach Club^®, handling administrative details required for all partnering churches.

Surf Team Leaders are responsible for a surf team (small group) of 6-10 students and are the core of effective Beach Club^® ministry.

The number of Surf Team Leaders needed depends on the number of kids in your Club.
