Overview of Services:
The Youth Marine Foundation is the premier on-water nonprofit that provides hands-on maritime training and marine science programs for youth year-round. We collaborate with public schools and youth-focused community groups to provide on-water training year-round.
The Youth Marine Foundation operates the Tacoma Youth Marine Center and provides a strong collaboration with Elements of Education high schools including School of the Arts (SOTA), Science and Math Institute (SAMI) and Industrial Design Engineering & Art (IDEA). By providing both on-campus classrooms and charter cruises aboard our commercial vessels, students participate in hands-on marine science classes.
In addition to the use of the three larger vessels operated by the Tacoma Sea Scouts, the Youth Marine Foundation owns and maintains a small fleet of 45+ small watercraft including kayaks, small sailboats and small motorboats.
