The idea for WAVES Lobitos originated in 2004 on the beaches of northern Peru, when a group of international surfers shared a desire to help local youth with little resources enjoy surfing. Today it is an established nonprofit and international network offering volunteer learning opportunities for surfers, skateboarders and others, beginning the first and third weekend of every month in Lobitos. Based on your skills, you will contribute in one of the program areas: surf program, skate program, arts program and English skills. WAVES Lobito is a nonprofit and dedicated to community development in Peru. Costs are $495 volunteer contribution, plus $295/week.
