What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
STEM Design Build Sail
Utilizing a program developed and implemented by US Sailing, sailing is used as a vehicle to teach middle and high school students the elements of STEM education. In addition, in coordination with the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation, these students are introduced to the environment in which our community exists. The program is open to all adolescents.
Crew to Captain
Crew to Captain is a three-year maritime career development program that helps high school students to identify potential pathways to careers in the local maritime industry. At the completion of the program, in addition to having learned about different maritime careers, students will earn their Sailing Instructor Certification, a Louisiana Safe Boating License, Basic Keelboat Certification, and CPR/First Aid training. We encourage graduating students to return as paid part-time instructors with Community Sailing. Leaders from the local maritime industry attend classes as speakers and mentors. By introducing high schoolers to the vast opportunities in the maritime industry, they are better prepared to pursue these career paths, which can lead to greater economic stability and a stronger local workforce
Oscar J. Tolmas Veteran Sailing
The Oscar J. Tolmas Veteran Sailing Program is provided free of charge to active military members and veterans who served in our armed forces. Participants learn the fundamentals of sailing as well as basic nomenclature, safety, knots, rigging, steering, how sails work, and the rules of the road.
Special Olympics Sailing
Special Olympic Sailing is a unified sport in which youth and adult athletes practice and compete in a variety of sailboats. Athletes learn basic nomenclature, boat handling, and the art of sailboat racing. Community Sailing New Orleans is the proud home of Southeast Louisianas first Special Olympic Sailing Team.
