Community Values and Expectations

Surf Point is a place for focused individual exploration within a shared community of residents, staff, visitors, and collaborators. We are committed to creating an environment that is welcoming, supportive, and grounded in mutual respect. Everyone who visits or is associated with Surf Point is expected to act with care, accountability, collegiality, and good intentions toward others.

Cultural Awareness and Inclusion
Our community includes people with a wide range of lived experiences, perspectives, and beliefs. We ask everyone to approach these differences with openness, curiosity, and respect. This includes being mindful that cultural or social norms may differ from your own and making an effort to engage thoughtfully and generously.

Communication
Community requires clear, respectful communication and active listening. We encourage everyone to communicate their needs, boundaries, and perspectives honestly and considerately, and to offer the same respect when others do so.

Respect for Boundaries
Please respect personal, cultural, and professional boundaries as they are expressed by others in order to maintain trust and safety within our shared environment.
