SERVE San Diego is a way to get involved in our partnership with the Beautifully Flawed Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization that serves young men and women with limb loss. Started by the friends and family of professional surfer and shark attack survivor, Bethany Hamilton, this organization creates opportunities for young adults to learn how to overcome life’s greatest struggles with tools for improving physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Joining our team means helping us support our friends at BFF!

Applications are not yet open for the 2024 SERVE team.

  • If you wanna exercise what it means to be “strong to serve,” we’d love to have you join our team. From gym sessions, jiu-jitsu and self defense, surf day and mobility sessions, we’re looking for fit men and women with a passion for service and leadership. Experience working with adaptive athletes is a bonus, but not required, to join this team.

  • We have a lot of diversity on our SERVE San Diego. Whether you’ve got a tight schedule that will only allow you to join in for a day or two or you’re in for the whole week, we’ve probably got a place that we could use you on the team!

  • SERVE San Diego does not include your transportation or lodging. Once you’ve applied to the team and been accepted, we’ll give you a complete schedule and make sure that you’re coordinated with the team for this incredible event. We can bet that you’re going to get more out of this experience than even what you’ll put into it.

  • Once you’ve submitted your application and if you’ve been accepted to the team, there will be a $100 registration fee. This helps us to cover the costs of coordinating this team for our mission partner and continue to fuel projects and partnerships like this in the future. Can’t fit your budget? Let us know… we’ve got scholarships!
