Purpose
Reach Initiative Youth Engagement grants have been made available to provide financial support for program materials, transportation, and offset costs for students when implementing the Reach Initiative. This area of need was identified through the Reach mentoring sessions and educator surveys. The Reach Initiative does not make multi-year commitments, and grant support in one year does not imply continued support in future years.
Criteria
-
- Must be a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
- Hold a current US Sailing Organizational Membership
- Utilize US Sailing Small Boat Level 1 or Basic Keelboat certified instructors for all on-water activities.
