Proud to be a part of this...
Happy National Be a Good Teammate Day! Shout out to the World Ocean School for demonstrating the impact that a group of people can have on a community when they come together to serve. Their team of NDMVA members helps students to become ocean scientists and tall ship sailors. While on board, students learn transformational life skills, including resilience, self-reliance, teamwork, and courage. Teamwork really does make the dream work! #NationalBeAGoodTeammateDay #NDMVA #WorldOceanSchool #AmeriCorps #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork

World Ocean School invites students ages 17-20 to join the Eastern Seaboard Adventure Voyage. This exciting new program offers a five-week journey on board the tall ship Denis Sullivan, starting in mid-September and ending in late October. As they sail from #Boston, to #Maine, to #Charleston, SC, students will not only learn the fundamentals of tall ship sailing but also have the chance to make new friends and participate in the adventure of a lifetime. Do you know anyone who would be interested in this opportunity? Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/edmZEAtw!

We could not do this work without the support of incredible donors. A gift of any size makes a big difference. Please consider a gift, today. (https://lnkd.in/eygsJxtr) This work has changed Eden's life as well as thousands of others; help us continue to make these opportunities possible!
For any of you who know me well, you know I am fervently passionate about World Ocean School. This organization impacted my life so profoundly that I have made my career about making transformative opportunities happen for as many people and kids as possible. 14 years ago, I spent my first Christmas holiday in St. Croix aboard Roseway and never could have imagined the life that has since unfolded. As Executive Director for the past 6.5 years, we have navigated hurricanes, the pandemic, and countless other challenges. I am proud that we have continued to innovate and build more impactful programs through all of that. Today, students from Boston, Milwaukee, New York, and St. Croix (all receiving full scholarships to participate) have been wrapping up a voyage together throughout the USVI over the past week— our inaugural Winter Ambassador Program built off our love of our Summer Ambassador Program (https://lnkd.in/edJ9m6-K). This experience is so unusual and powerful that it will be with them forever. “If I can do this, I can do anything!” We could not do this work without the support of incredible donors. A gift of any size makes a big difference. Please consider joining me with a gift, today.

I have spent my whole career providing transformational experiences to young people. I became a sailor and involved with traditional sailing and community sailing later in life. World Ocean School and Piers Park Sailing Center are the two organizations I work with the most. Here's a video that explains how all this ties together.
