Type 1 Youth Surf Event

​We're excited to team up with the Jimmy Miller Memorial Foundation for our second Surf Therapy Day for kids and teens living with Type 1 diabetes.

​You do not need any surfing experience to participate. Whether your child has never touched a surfboard or already loves being in the ocean, this day is designed to help them build confidence, connect with others, and have fun in a safe, supportive environment.

​The Jimmy Miller Memorial Foundation uses the healing power of the ocean to support mental health and wellness. Their team of licensed therapists, lifeguards, water safety volunteers, and surf instructors creates an incredible experience that goes far beyond learning how to surf.

​Ages: 8–17
Location: Manhattan Beach
Cost: Free

​What to Expect

​• Therapist-led beach circle
• One-on-one surf instruction
• All surf equipment and wetsuits provided
• Lunch and snacks
• Time to connect with other kids living with T1D

​This event is about more than surfing. It's about building confidence, trying something new, and spending a day with other kids who just get it.

​Space is limited and registration is required.

​All YJMT events are free — because no one should have to pay to feel less alone. If you're able to support the work, donations are always welcome! Donate Here.
