About this organization
Mission
Courageous Sailing transforms lives through sailing programs that inspire learning, personal growth and leadership. Our programs utilize sailing, swimming, and related STEM education as platforms for social-emotional growth and out-of-school-time learning. We are committed to making sailing accessible to all and removing barriers that have traditionally prevented marginalized youth from participating in our programs. As our students master sailing skills over the decade or more they are involved with Courageous, they also build self-confidence, perseverance, critical thinking, environmental stewardship, collaboration, and other skills they need for success on the water, in the classroom, and beyond. In the words of our founder, “Every child’s perspective is improved fifty yards offshore.”
