YOUTHSAIL

YouthSail helps kids become self-sufficient in an increasingly competitive world. YouthSailors work in every area of a real business, delivering real goods and services (boat refurb, rentals and sales). These revenue streams help fund the program, and make YouthSail itself a model for self-sufficiency. The YouthSail curriculum includes life skills such as job hunting and conflict resolution and kids can learn professional skills (website design, event planning, etc.) from mentors. YouthSail hosts sailing excursions for kids, seniors, handicapped guests and others. These events benefit the community, and give YouthSailors exposure to a variety of people and situations. Target membership for YouthSail is 100 kids (25 per day) on site 6 hours per week... YouthSail operates on Earned Revenue from memberships, boat rentals and boat sales. As a nonprofit, YouthSail also qualifies for charitable contributions and grants (youth development, STEM, etc.) which are used to expand program..
