Give a Little Stoke – Change a Life
We believe all young people deserve a supportive environment where they can feel safe, experience self-confidence, and build meaningful connections. Unfortunately, many are facing mental health challenges, feelings of isolation, and unstable home lives that make growing up tougher than it should be.
This May, we’re inviting local businesses to get behind our Give a Little Stoke campaign.
Our goal is to raise $30,000 to continue delivering free surf therapy and mental health programs for young people who need it most.
By joining us, your business becomes part of a compassionate community making a real difference — and you gain the opportunity to:
✔ Connect your brand to a cause that matters
✔ Be featured across Ocean Mind’s social media, newsletter, and community channels
✔ Reach our active and engaged volunteer and supporter network
✔ Show your customers that you care about youth mental health and local impact
We know times are tough, that’s why we’ve created flexible, tiered options so businesses of all sizes can get involved in a meaningful way. No matter the level, every contribution helps remove barriers to support, and keeps our programs free for families doing it tough.
Your support helps us provide:
Free 6-week surf therapy programs for young people facing mental health challenges
Ongoing Surf Club sessions to build confidence and connection
Mentor training for compassionate, youth-focused volunteers
Community events that bring young people and families together
When you Give a Little Stoke, you give young people the chance to believe in themselves, build resilience, and feel like they truly belong.
Join us today and help change lives, one wave at a time. 🌊💙
