Life Sail

Life Sail is committed to investing our expertise and resources in order to further achieve our cause. Since we’ve been supporting our community members in a variety of ways and measuring our success not by monetary size, but by more qualitative measurements such as the scale and effectiveness of our efforts. Just imagine what we can achieve together! LifeSail, Inc. launched in January of 2003, with the goal of helping navigate children through life’s challenges. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, supported through the generous donations of people like you! Through the mentorship of Jim Kilroy and his support to the national body of US Sailing, LifeSail was chosen in 2012 to pilot the Reach program on the west coast. To-date, we are one of few operations on the west coast implementing Reach, US Sailing’s STEM Program and Environmental Education Initiative aligned to National Education Standards, offering character and life-skill building activities to under-served and at-risk kids year round. We have served over five thousand children in Los Angeles county. LifeSail operates year round, teaching the importance of ownership, teamwork and leadership, through sailing and boat-building activities. Our goal is to instill a you-can-do philosophy, training self-confidence and determination through the art of sailing and water navigation. As kids grow in the program, they are given ever increasing responsibility, coming away with specific skill-sets and goals. As a result, grades improve, and long-term life goals are established, nurtured and pursued.
