LWF Tagline Paddle, Inspire, Empower with stylized water droplets between the words

Inspiring others to become future leaders through watersport mentorship programs.

Mission

Our Mission is to Inspire and Empower the people and organizations we work with by facilitating watersports programs that improve the health, wellness, and environment of our communities.

Every action we make is with the intention of fostering a community centered around a commitment to environmental stewardship, equitable access to water activity for youth in Annapolis, and serving our military veterans who have so bravely served for us. We “paddle with a purpose” by infusing our favorite activity with our core values and empowering those we work with to do the same.

2nd Annual Live Water Luau

Join us for the 2nd Annual Live Water Luau on Saturday May 6th from 6 to 10 pm for an authentic Hawaiian luau. This fundraiser showcases Hawaiian luau dancing, an open bar with specialty cocktails, and authentic Hawaiian luau eats.

Volunteer Opportunities

There are many reasons to volunteer: it’s a great way to meet new people who share similar interests, it will get you outside and moving on these gorgeous summer days, you’ll get to try new things and even enjoy experiences that other people sometimes have to pay for. On top of that, giving back feels good! We’ve got lots of opportunities for you to join us on our Mission to Inspire and Empower the people and organizations we work with by facilitating watersports programs that improve our communities health, wellness, and environment.
