About The "OisF" Riders
We are Empowering & We are Healing
What is the "The OisF"?... The Ocean is Female.
We are a saltwater-inspired nonprofit organization with a mission to foster kindness and strength in girls, and to support and empower survivors of abuse. Inspired by the transformative powers of the sea, The OisF connects women and girls to the ocean through local activities & programs. We encourage women and girls to trust in the therapeutic nature of the sea to help them realize their true greatness and learn how to passionately and confidently ride life's waves amidst ever-changing tides!

What do the Riders do?
The OisF Riders paddle board together...they do beach yoga and “fly” together...they do community service together...they craft, create, and dream by the sea together! Check out our Event Calendar to learn about recent OisF Rider events and see what is in store for the Riders next.
The OisF Rider program creates a support network for our girls. Through various opportunities and local events centered around the ocean, the Riders are building a community of girls that inspire goodness and strength in each other! At each OisF Rider event, there are a few guiding principles that we encourage the Riders to embrace every day:
- To celebrate each other’s differences and uniqueness – there is not one mold that any of our girls should be forced to adhere to.
- To live with courage and – above all – kindness, and to support each other along the way. We want to create a community where challenges can be faced together, and overcome with each other’s support.
- To always give back to the community – as often and as meaningfully as you can.
