Our <br />sailing roster mirrors the demographics of Indian River County. About 45% of our sailors are from <br />underserved homes (as defined by United Way's ALICE demographic). Twenty-seven percent (27%) <br />represent the minority community. We have 8% and 15% from the homeless and special needs <br />communities respectively. Twenty-five percent of our sailors are living at or below the poverty line. <br />We have 150 children sailing twice per week on average during the two ten -week school -year terms. <br />Another 250 children attend summer camp during June and July. All sail free in our learn to sail <br />programs. We charge modest fees for advanced and summer programs but offer needs -blind <br />admission with scholarships available for all in the ALICE and Poverty demographics. About 43% of <br />our sailors receive scholarships and pay $0. <br />Our programs offer experiential learning using the medium of sailing. We "Sail for Life." On the technical <br />level sailing requires a challenging physical and mental skill set. Beginners sail solo in an eight foot pram <br />that requires the child to helm the boat while trimming sails and shifting weight and balance. YSF sailors <br />are solving a constant analog physics problem while having fun. Sailing requires focus and independent <br />decision making. It instills confidence and raises one's self-esteem, basic building blocks to achieving one's <br />full potential and living a successful life. <br />C. <br />
