Training

YWAM is a huge network with many different faces, expressions, and locations. Whilst we wish that every YWAMer was a Boarder, we know that in God’s created order, this is simply not the case. 

God creates and calls each of us uniquely according to His design in us and His call and plans for our lives.

There are, though, some YWAM bases we do have or have had working relationships with that can offer you DTS training and U&N training.

Serving

Skateboarding and surfing have seen significant growth globally, with increased governmental and Olympic support since their inclusion in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Historically, boarding communities were primarily found in Western developed economies, but now exist in diverse cultural groups across non-Western developed and developing economies.

The International Surfing Association and World Skates Rankings, along with the International Ski Federation, showcase the multicultural and diverse nature of board sports.

Skateboarding, the largest board sport with over 85 million participants, is the 6th most popular sport globally.

These opportunities offer a chance to serve people and communities through board sports, and we’d love to help you on your journey with God and His Commission. Contact us through our Contact us page to join our network or check out the servie opportunities below.
