“Sailing program- our youth/parent pilot program was a huge success and we look forward to building and expanding upon this program. The mission of this program was to empower families and transform their worlds through sailing. As most of us know the teen years can be difficult to say the least, that is when families need each other most, yet tend to fragment. Our program offers a different approach in learning and working together. In our program a parent and teen learn to work together, learn clear and effective communication, environmental stewardship and safety aspects of emotional health to physical safety. Many parents and teens feel that they have nothing in common, communication is strained and emotions and feelings are hard to navigate. In our program they learn the importance of how to communicate and work together and the amazing outcomes that can be had by teamwork. By using sailing as a modality to get them to engage with each other, in what literally can be a life or death activity it gains the attention of all parties. The participants learn to be part of a team, that they actually need each other and realize the value that each person brings to the team. The feedback from the parents and teens has been overwhelmingly positive.relationships that were so strained that there was basically zero interaction and zero effective communication have blossomed into amazing reunions, friendships and healing families. The teens felt especially accomplished and most remarked that they did not know their parents could be so fun. The parents were beyond thankful to join in an activity that brought teamwork, camaraderie and fun into a lifelong skill set that they can share with their children.”

“Young womens empowerment program was established in march 2018. As a community collaboration, geared towards taking a proactive approach to guide young women to whom are at risk or without support systems. Our program is designed as a character development program with enrichment activities and mentoring relationships. We aim to build self-esteem and determination, skills and awareness in middle school to college age girls. Our program focuses on a different character trait each week, basic-self defense skills, effective communication, financial management, relationship boundaries and higher education opportunities. We seek to enhance the development of young girls and provide a forum to produce well rounded young women whom are healthy assets to our communities. Our mission is to promote good self-esteem especially in the tween to early adult age group, provide an environment to inspire and empower girls to make better life decisions and educate girls on issues which affect their social, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being. Young womens empowerment program consists of professional women, experienced mentors, parents, and teachers who are passionate about making a difference. This project started out of a collaboration between powerful women who see something possible for the rest of humanity. We have not always been powerful women. Each one of us at various points in our lives have felt stuck due to lack of choice. Through our life experiences, we have found a path to personal power through a combination of physical empowerment, financial sovereignty, personal development and entrepreneurship. As survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and economic hardship, we have learned what it takes to find our own personal power within our bodies, our minds, our finances and in the world around us. As entrepreneurs and moms and professional women, we discovered that our personal empowerment paths expanded with our ability to launch and grow businesses and healthy families. We wouldnt have succeeded without a rooted foundation in physical and financial empowerment. As business and community leaders, we want to open doorways for young women to step into physical and financial sovereignty, finding their own power, voice and success. The empowerment of young women makes them independent decisions makers which helps them raise healthy children, seek healthy relationships, be engaged in their communities and be financially secure.”
