Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Youth Development - Citizenship, Youth Development Programs
Mission: Call of the Sea is a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit with the mission of connecting people to the sea and maritime traditions. Our teaching platform is the lovely 82' schooner, SEAWARD. Our goal is to offer the benefits of connecting with the sea and sailing to all people, with a special focus on empowering youth of all backgrounds. Our programs range from three hours to two weeks long, primarily taking place on San Francisco Bay but occasionally ranging as far as Baja Mexico.
Results: We spent a lot of time this year enhancing our day sail curriculum and staff training procedures.
Target demographics: Bay Explorations, our 3-hour educational day sail, is designed for youth of all backgrounds 4th grade and up. Voyage Seaward, our overnight youth program, is appropriate for youth ages 12 and up. Adults and the general public can get onboard though our Public Sails, Farallones Sails, and winter adventures in Mexico. We serve people of all ages and backgrounds, and are actively committed to working with the under-served and low-income youth of the Bay Area. Whenever possible, we provide scholarships to make sure this population has access to these enriching outdoor experiences.
Direct beneficiaries per year: In 2010, we provided a hands-on Bay experience for over 3,300 youth. We are on target to serve even more in 2011.
