Meet our team
Surfpop Foundation is run by a qualified and incredible team, who each bring their unique skill set to the program. To ensure a safe space for the children, all our team members also act as caring mentors. The foundation is governed by a board of directors consisting of Daniel Botha as chairperson, Alwyn Lubbe as treasurer and Céline Hoeks as secretary. Together they ensure that the organisation is run in line with the South African and Dutch legislation for non-profit organisations. Once a year, the Surfpop Advisory Board convenes, bringing together professionals and program graduates whose experiences help Surfpop improve its program planning and implementation and whose network contribute towards raising awareness and funds for the Surfpop program. Board members are not remunerated for their role as directors and advisors on the boards.
