About Groundswell Community Project
Groundswell Community Project is a San Diego-based nonprofit that uses surf therapy and nature-based programming to support the mental health and wellbeing of historically underserved youth and communities. For ten years, we've believed that the ocean has the power to heal — and that access to that healing should be available to everyone.
