Waves and Wheels to Empower Youth

Imagine a place where young people not only develop job skills and immerse themselves in nature, but also build the confidence to shape their future. That place is Waterside Workshops—a safe haven where over 300 youth, ages 8 to 24, step in each year to explore their potential, learn, create, and connect with their community. Through hands-on training in bike mechanics, woodworking, and boat building, as well as opportunities to experience California’s natural beauty, our youth gain practical skills, confidence, and a sense of purpose that guides them toward brighter futures.

This season, we’re raising $30,000 to keep these transformative programs thriving and continue offering life-changing opportunities to young people in our community. Your support ensures we can keep empowering the next generation to succeed and grow.
