Second class with this cohort, mentor mentee method. We build and label model boats that they take back to Juvenile Hall, then sail, using what we have learned and review the hand, reef and steer from the first class. Pizza at dock.
Join our All Lady Crew as we welcome young women from Alameda County Juvenile Hall aboard for a powerful day on the Bay. This new program shows these girls that there is life after incarceration and that the water is meant to be embraced, not feared. Led entirely by women, the sail highlights strength, confidence, and sisterhood, inspiring hope and new beginnings.
Certified crew and female volunteers are encouraged to sign up and be part of this meaningful experience.
