2024 REACH Youth Engagement Grant Recipients

Sailing centers nationwide have been awarded grants to promote youth sailing through STEM and environmental education, thanks to the US Sailing Reach Initiative. These grants support non-profit sailing centers in advancing their Reach program goals and expanding STEM opportunities for local students. The Reach Initiative uses sailing as an educational platform to inspire youth, foster a love of learning, and explore STEM careers. By uniting educators, sailing instructors, engineers, and scientists, the program provides a hands-on learning experience where students can apply classroom knowledge collaboratively. Green Bay Sail & Paddle is proud to be one of ten nonprofits selected for 2024.
This initiative is supported by Rolex and US Sailing donors.

"Ryan did an amazing job with us, going through all the rigging and systems to help us figure out our boat. He mentored us on our first sail, helping us get used to the motoring parts especially. We had our first solo sail today and, though it was not perfect, it was fun and successful! We will have a few more lessons: reefing on this boat, more adventures in docking, getting ready to put it away for the season. We look forward to sharing the sailing joy - and racing lessons next summer!
