A learning facilitator is an adult volunteer that leads training for leaders and volunteers. In order to become a Learning Facilitator, you must attend a Facilitating Adult Learning workshop. At the workshop you can choose a specialty that you are interested in teaching and learn about the next steps to leading trainings on your own.

This class is a prerequisite to becoming a Learning Facilitator. It is designed to prepare volunteers to lead adult learning courses such as Stepping Out and Outdoor Training. Students will learn the Six Principles of Adult Learning and how to use the art of reflective learning to create engaging and informative training workshops.

Each surf day focuses on building the fundamentals of the sports, teaching safety etiquette, oceanography, and the basics of catching waves and standing up. On-land balance trainers, beach games, and fun with friends is a part of each surf day along with an environmental talk and beach clean up. Participants each receive a patch and are provided with new wetsuits and boards to use during the lessons.

That feeling of overcoming fears, facing a challenge, and the thrill of riding on a wave foster camaraderie, confidence, and build memories that will last a lifetime. The Surf Happens Foundation is offering full and partial scholarships for the program as well. Each surf day lasts from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Price: $100

Senior Mind, Body, Me

Through this badge, Seniors learn that the mind and body are a package deal, and whatever they do with one affects the other. They explore using this connection to nurture themselves, both mentally and physically, through activities like making time for wellness, activating their body’s natural mood-boosting chemicals, getting outdoors and active, practicing mindfulness, taking care of their mental health, and much more.

Ambassador Cheers For Every Body

Through this badge, Ambassadors—on the cusp of adulthood—learn how to celebrate their maturing sense of self through actions, words, and attitude. They experiment with expressing themselves through dress and projecting their confidence through body language. They take control of their body autonomy by learning how to set and maintain body boundaries, and they see the power of surrounding themselves with positivity. Most of all, they learn to appreciate themselves and the confident young adults they’re becoming.

Junior Uniquely Us

Through this badge, Juniors learn that we’re all uniquely US—and that’s what makes us exactly right. They explore and appreciate the qualities that make them great, both physical and non-physical, and learn how to avoid comparing themselves to others. They practice affirming themselves and their body autonomy through their words and actions. They also learn how to celebrate differences between people while seeing and appreciating everything we share.

Cadette Outside the Mirror

Through this badge, Cadettes look beyond society’s beauty stereotypes and hidden media messaging—the virtual “mirror” that tells them what they should be—to find and appreciate their authenticity. Through fun activities like experimenting with personal style and dress, outrageous makeovers, creating authenticity campaigns, and attending women’s sporting events, they learn to see through the hype and own their glow.
