Volunteer with Operation Amped

MNTN is partnering with Operation Amped for an exciting volunteer opportunity at the Welcome Party where everyone will contribute their artistic talents to various surfboards for chariry! Operation Amped is a non-profit organization that promotes surf therapy to aid in the recovery of physically and mentally wounded and injured veterans and active-duty service members. Their mission is to share the “stoke” of the surfing community and the healing potential of surfing with seriously ill, injured, and or disabled U.S. military veterans and their families. Operation Amped provides the equipment, the boards, and the environment for our warriors to really experience the benefits of surfing and being part of the coastal community. Surf therapy is real. Live healthy, happy, and long.
