Inspiring a global response that eliminates the barriers preventing a diversity of youth from a personal relation with the ocean and with one another. We believe a relationship with the ocean will allow us to live our healthiest and fullest lives.
“The ocean provides a unique experience to constantly be pushed outside of your comfort zone. You sit in it and overcome your fears and become more confident. More time in the ocean becomes a powerful vehicle for connecting girls to their own empowerment, as well as a way to connect communities of diverse girls to environment, ocean, and with one another. The Wahine Project eliminates the barriers that may get in the way of those relationships, and provides opportunities for them to grow.” ~ Dionne Ybarra, Founder of The Wahine Project
