Partnerships
Operating Partners
We are delighted to partner with CPY, The Wahine Project, and Salud y Cariño for our first year of pilot programs. Together we have established solid curriculum and operating partnerships that are positively impacting kids and making a difference.
CPY was created in 1991, when promising Seaside High student athlete Ramon Avila was tragically killed during an alleged drug deal. Community leaders vowed to find a solution to spiking crime in the neighborhood and its effects on their most vulnerable children and youth.
We’re a global community that believes everyone deserves access to the ocean. We’re reshaping the landscape of equity in ocean recreation and stewardship.
Salud y Cariño opens doors for girls to take action and gain confidence through physical activity and healthy choices to live their best lives now and in the future!
