Who We Are....
Waves of Freedom (W.O.F) is a small program, formed by 3 girls (Lily, Maggie, and Elle), that are trying to help the local beaches. Our goal is promote awareness regarding marine pollution, as well as take part in beach clean-ups to ensure the protection of our shoreline environment
We accomplish these goals by organizing annual beach clean-up events, where we provide supplies and educational speakers, and educational presentations to the youth community. For our continuous work, we've been given various awards and grants!
