We Are Wahine

Based in the Monterey Bay in California, on Ohlone Land, we are a global community that believes everyone deserves access to the ocean. We’re reshaping the landscape of equity in ocean recreation and stewardship.

We are currently receiving donations through Monterey County Gives!

Donations raised this year will benefit our partnership with Monterey Peninsula Unified School District and their Special Education Department.

Testimonials

Being a part of the Wahine Project gave me opportunities that I never believed possible. Who would have thought that a young, brown girl from East Salinas would be given the chance to surf? Definitely not me. As a child, I always thought that surfing was a sport only people in movies would participate in, it wasn’t something I ever saw people of color doing, it wasn’t a reality for me. You have changed my life, for that I will always be grateful. Thanks for everything! -Daisy, Alisal Highschool
