Mission

Our mission is positive youth development through the building and use of wooden boats.

Programs

Each year we partner with eight or ten schools, youth service agencies, juvenile justice programs and community organizations to build fifteen to twenty boats with at-risk youth. We typically work with about 150 youth each year. We also provide year long boat building apprenticeship opportunities to youth including adjudicated youth as an optional part of their aftercare.

    A great organization...a great cause! As a teacher in Brooklyn, NY and an avid outdoorsman, I believe all urban youth deserve (and need) the opportunity to get away from their typical everyday environment and experience something new - - - like, the satisfaction of building a boat with their own hands and then taking it out into nature for a ride!

    A great organization, with gifted staff/teachers, helping young adults develop technical and life skills. Building boats is about learning math, cultural traditions, working cooperatively, and delaying instant gratification for a bigger payoff. UBI deserves our support.

    I have boat disease and what keeps it in remission is being around people who like kids and boats

    I have never seen an organization with this much heart and soul. Every dollar is used to build youth, one boat at a time.
