YOUTH PROGRAMS AT SWBC

The Spaulding Wooden Boat Center supports programs in woodworking, boatbuilding, boat restoration and sailing for youths interested in learning about and enjoying the maritime environment in Sausalito.

In the summer of 2007, the center offered a woodworking program for Marin City young people. In 2008 and 2009, the center worked in partnership with other local organizations to introduce high school students to wooden boatbuilding and sailing.

In 2010, the Spaulding Center introduced the Youth Apprentice Program for high school students, an apprenticeship in the art and skills of traditional wooden boat construction, seamanship and environmental stewardship.

SWBC plans to create more programs and is always looking for people and organizations interested in working with the center on these projects.
