•Educating students through our own charter school, through after-school and supplemental education programs, and through environmental experiences, with special emphasis on serving students who live in high-risk environments
•Eliminating barriers to success for young adults and families through community development, workforce preparation, and life skills training
•Educating the general public, and students in particular, about the significance of the region’s maritime heritage and its role in shaping who we are as a community and nation
While each of our program areas is distinct, in combination they create a powerful synergy. Our maritime heritage programs create opportunities for employment training. Our education programs use our environmental and maritime resources as living learning laboratories. Our employability programs create stronger communities that are better prepared to exercise environmental stewardship.
