What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

TopSail Youth Program

The TopSail Youth Program is an award-winning education and adventure experience aboard a tall ship. This “learn by doing” program allows youth to develop their team building, problem solving, decision-making, planning, self-reliance and leadership skills as they explore the ocean wilderness while serving as part of a ship's crew on a day sail, overnight voyage or both.

Opportunities abound at sea, as youth are introduced to the ocean's diversity and ecosystems that create a vast living space. Perspectives begin to change when students realize they are part of something larger than themselves, which expands their view of the world and what they can achieve. As they learn the ropes of operating a complex vessel, they become familiar with their own abilities, and the teamwork and critical thinking required to operate the vessel under varying conditions. Sailing a tall ship is challenging, yet nurturing experience that prepares them for any challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

TopSail STEM Program

The TopSail STEM Program builds on our signature TopSail Youth Program and leverages the STEM framework inherent to our program. For example, using the navigation component of our program enhances students’ interest in mathematics as they are introduced to a chart, its geometry and many of its symbols, which they use to determine a course. Students also focus on the aspects of mechanical advantage on board a tall ship and the skill of rigging block and tackle.

It is here at sea, where students realize that STEM subjects have very real and practical uses. The program’s curriculum and experiential activities are also customizable to meet the educational priorities of the school or group, and they are designed to reinforce classroom learning in full support of the Next Generation Science Standards.

Sea Scouts/Youth Crew

Our Sea Scouts/Youth Crew program provides alternative access to sailing aboard our fleet of small sailboats. This allows youth volunteers more access to sailing, as well as providing them more exposure to sailboats and boating in general, bolstering a deeper understanding, interest, and confidence towards sailing and sailboat handling. These skills are transferable experiences when sailing aboard other boats.

Sea Scouting is an inclusive co-ed program offered for young people by BSA Scouts America. The program operates through Sea Scout units known as Ships which are made up of youth and advisors, and Ship 1992 is a Sea Scout Ship chartered by the Los Angeles Maritime Institute (LAMI). Being a Sea Scout offers countless opportunities and exciting challenges that you won’t find anywhere else. It is a place where you can grow, learn, find adventure, and build lifelong friendships.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Our first priority is an expansion of the TopSail Youth Program which builds on introductory day sails and expands to an overnight voyage for young people. A case study has shown that those who participate in these programs are more likely to finish high school and go to college than their classmates who don't. A former State Attorney General estimates that the cost to the government of those who fail to graduate is as much as $2,000,000 over a dysfunctional lifetime! LAMI's motto: “Training by the Sea … for Life" is further vindicated by these statistics.

Secondly, we are focusing on increasing our volunteer base which has been the backbone of LAMI since its inception. The contribution of volunteers is invaluable – not only aboard our ships but in the office, carrying out special projects, running the dockside educational center “The DECKhouse", assisting at Tall Ships events and countless other tasks.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Booking our ships in innovative ways and diversifying our revenue streams will be a new initiative as we move forward. Rather than having a ship tied to the dock, we invite “sailors of all ages" to participate in creative ways that will contribute to LAMI's bottom line. The introduction of advanced sail training voyages, either offshore or foreign-going for post high school “trainees" would round out LAMI's training portfolio. Not only do these voyages contribute to the cash flow during lower booking periods, they provide stimulus for crew and a depth of learning that is impossible to achieve on day sails and short overnight excursions.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

The TopSail Youth Program, on average, takes over 3,000 young people to sea each year on life-changing programs. Open to youth of all ages (elementary to college level), we dedicate 180 sailing days a year to inner city kids, some of the most deserving, and underserved, members of our community.

The shipboard environment is challenging, yet nurturing, encouraging exploration and self-reliance. It is notably effective with youth who are not coping well with the demands of society and are at risk of dropping out of school and giving up. Today, we strive to provide a venue that enriches, validates and challenges every young person who participates.

Our twin brigantines provide an exciting "outdoor classroom" experience. Launched in 2002, the twin brigantines Irving Johnson and Exy Johnson were designated the Official Tall Ships and Maritime Ambassadors of the City of Los Angeles. Measuring 110 feet, these identical, traditionally rigged tall ships were named after Captain Irving and Exy Johnson, sail training pioneers and seven-time circumnavigators with youth crew.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Captain Bruce Heyman

An experienced executive leader and manager with an outstanding track record of delivering results, Captain Bruce Heyman retired from Motorola after 26 years climbing from an engineer to Vice President. For the bulk of his Motorola career, he managed large teams of engineers, business professionals, marketing, strategy, sales and manufacturing that were spread across multiple sites, including Europe.
