Who We Are
Gig Harbor Junior Sailing's Mission is to provide equitable access to sailing programs that foster personal growth and youth development.
Gig Harbor Junior Sailing is a 501(c)3 Non-profit organization, established in 2010 for the purpose of teaching sailing & water safety to youth. Our programs develop local sailors at all skill levels and challenge them to achieve confidence and independence on the water.
We strive to provide youth with a healthy avenue of development and a love for sailing. Many community members work together to make sailing accessible for kids in our community, including:
- Volunteer Board of Directors
- Our Organization Partners
- Donors and Sponsors
- Our Full-Time and Seasonal Staff
- Narrows Race Team Sailors & Families
- Our Sail Camp Families
And... YOU!
Gig Harbor Junior Sailing's Vision to serve the community through camps, competitive racing, community sailing and increased public access at a permanent waterfront location.
A competitive race team and robust family/adult program are natural extensions we desire. Giving back to the program by the sailors and their parents is a key to our success.
We strive to attain a permanent waterfront home in the harbor and to showcase our beautiful harbor by hosting regional events.
What is Next?
We are thrilled with our progress and momentum over the years, and are excited for the future.
We are looking forward to pursuing a waterfront facility to call home, supporting more underserved youth in our community through our scholarship program, and strengthening our program, staff, and race teams.
