My Nonprofit Reviews

Los Angeles Maritime Institute gives me a chance to share my love for wind and sail with at-risk children some of which have not seen the ocean much less sailed. We teach kids the physics if sailing, onboard systems, working aloft, navigation, marine bio, environmental science, teamwork, etc.

I first sailed on a tallship 20+ years ago off the coast of Maine. LAMI gives me a chance to continue my study and give back.

LAMI has licensed captains, qualified staff in admin and volunteerism, all of which make us feel welcome and that culture makes us work hard so the children feel safe and comfortable.

I was also able to introduce my own young teenage children to sailing. What a gift LAMI allows me to pay my love forward.
