Mission

Laru Beya Collective is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to empowering the historically excluded youth of Far Rockaway and NYC through surfing.

Laru Beya means "on the beach" in the language of the Garifuna - a culturally preserved and unique Afro-Indigenous people still residing throughout Central America and the Caribbean.

We run 12 week summer surf lessons, year round indoor and outdoor rock climbing sessions, water safety clinics, beach clean ups, art workshops, and more for the historically excluded Far Rockaway youth.
