90% of foster youth suffer from emotional trauma and do not have an outlet to find the healing they need.
More Than Conquerors (MTC) serves foster youth, adoptive and kinship families, and trafficked youth ages 2 – 25 in Ventura and San Diego Counties by providing them with the opportunity to heal from trauma by experiencing freedom, joy, and confidence through the gift of surfing.
Through trauma-informed surf therapy and mentorship, we help youth build resilience, discover healthy coping tools, and choose positive paths that prevent the destructive impact of drugs, alcohol, and other harmful alternatives that youth facing adversity so often turn to.
We achieve this by hosting monthly surf events March – November that allow our communities to come together in a safe space that allows them to heal during a carefree day at the beach. The goal of our surf events is simple: that every child, teen, and young adult who surfs with us would know that they are loved, have a home, and a purpose.
Join us as lives are transformed through the gift of surfing!
