WWOAF Is Serving the Grand Strand Community of Myrtle Beach

The Grand Strand is a community that knows how to pull together. The Wild West Outdoor Adventure Foundation (WWOAF) is launching in the Myrtle Beach area to support our neighbors. Our mission is to empower our community with life-saving skills, providing low-to-no-cost emergency and wilderness training so you can protect your family and explore the coast with confidence. We are just getting started and need your help.

Teach Emergency Training Courses on the Grand Strand

WWOAF provides hands-on emergency training, from basic First Aid/CPR to advanced courses. We are seeking Myrtle-Beach-area instructors with valid certifications (EMT, Paramedic, First Aid/CPR Instructor) to join our team and teach our community.

Explore Wilderness Training from the Waccamaw River to the Coast

With the Waccamaw River and its cypress swamps in our backyard and the open ocean at our front, the Grand Strand is a hub for water-based adventure. Our wilderness training is essential for the region’s paddlers, boaters, and anglers. We offer courses from basic survival to advanced Wilderness First Responder (WFR), built for anyone who works or plays in a coastal or riverine environment. We are actively seeking local non-profits and community groups in Horry County to partner with to host these empowering courses.

Organize Supply & Gear Drives in Myrtle Beach & Horry County

Our low-to-no-cost training is powered by resources from the community. We are looking for volunteer organizers in the Myrtle Beach-Conway area to run supply drives for essential medical and outdoor recreation gear (like backpacks and first aid kits). These donated items directly offset costs for our students and ensure our volunteer instructors have the tools they need to teach.

Join Our Volunteer Team in Myrtle Beach

This is an opportunity to build a new resource for the Grand Strand. We are looking for dedicated, community-minded individuals to join our volunteer team. If you’re ready to help, we want you on our team.
