Thanks for spotlighting us, Education Reimagined!
At World Ocean School, based in Boston and St. Croix, learners take on exciting challenges that build trust, leadership, and teamwork. In this article, VP of Programs & Advancement, Jill Hughes shares how experiences like navigating narrow waterways or climbing the rigging give learners real responsibilities, and teach them to rise to the occasion. “When you trust a young adult to do something, I am always impressed by how they step up.” Through hands-on experiences at the helm, in the rigging, and alongside their crew, learners navigate challenges that mirror those on shore, forging skills that stay with them long after they leave the deck.

"Tall ships are not just vessels; they are living classrooms that teach valuable lessons in leadership, teamwork, and community living." Since Captain Jill Hughes started sailing as a teenager, she quickly discovered her passion for community, challenge, and a sense of purpose aboard tall ships. Years later, she has seen that passion fluorish in the students who have come aboard Roseway and Denis Sullivan during our programs. Students may come aboard wide-eyed and a little nervous, but eventually, it all clicks, and that's Jill's favorite part, when "the students realize they're capable of operating the vessel without the professional crew's help. They know the routines, set the sails...and take ownership of it." You can help us keep these programs going, where Captain Jill Hughes will continue to see students transform aboard our schooners. Your support can help us change lives, one sail at a time. Donate today: https://lnkd.in/eNxqRb2j #sailing #experientialeducation #give #donate

This week, due to an environmental concern on the third floor of the 100+ year old Boston Fish Pier, World Ocean School offices were moved into a temporary space across the street at Seaport East, 2 Seaport Lane. We should be here at least six months. I’ve worked in basements, “Class B” office buildings, and historic buildings, but never in a fancy building like this with 24/7 security and plenty of amenities, although our space is “in transition.” It is temporary, and we left a lot of stuff behind in the hopes of reuniting in the spring. In the meantime, we are going to enjoy the views.
