Sail2Change
About us
We connect high school students from the Portland-Vancouver area—many from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and low-income backgrounds—to real-world maritime career pathways, hands-on STEM learning, and bold educational experiences. Their journey culminates in a capstone voyage aboard a Tall Ship—an unforgettable test of confidence, teamwork, and possibility.
What sets Sail2Change apart?
We don’t just mentor—we ignite possibility.
We don’t just educate—we launch futures.
Youth in our program gain:
Exposure to college and maritime careers
Discipline and teamwork through seamanship
A sense of community, belonging, and hope
For many, it’s the first time they’ve seen the horizon—and believed they could reach it.
Our purpose today is crystal clear:
To equip youth with a lifelong toolkit for success—through sailing, mentorship, education, and experiential learning.What sets Sail2Change apart?
