Help Young People Flourish Month After Month
Your monthly gift provides the steady support SALTS needs to help young people discover courage, confidence, belonging, and purpose through life-changing tall-ship adventures.
Young People Need Unique Opportunities to Grow in Character and Confidence
Young people today are growing up faced with pressure, isolation, anxiety, and constant digital noise. Many are searching for something deeper: an enriching space where they can test their abilities, discover their strengths, and belong to a community that believes in them.
Such experiences are rare. But with the help of our committed supporters, SALTS provides the elusive opportunities young people are longing for. On board a tall ship, they are welcomed into a caring community where they learn to sail, work as a crew, face challenges, and grow personally, spiritually, and relationally.
Monthly Supporters are the Wind in Our Sails
Since 1974, SALTS has helped young people grow through sail training. Each year, approximately 1,700 youth climb aboard our tall ships Pacific Swift and Pacific Grace and embark on an experience that shapes them forever. Many arrive unsure of themselves and leave more confident, connected, and aware of their own potential.
Monthly supporters make this possible by providing reliable, flexible support for the mission's ongoing needs. In many ways, monthly supporters become part of the SALTS crew: a steady community of people helping keep the ships cared for, the programs running, and the invitation open for more young people to come aboard. Because monthly support is steady, SALTS can plan ahead, care for the fleet, and make room for more young people to experience a voyage that can shape their future.

Your Support Helps Sustain the Future
One truth about sailing is that everything needs constant upkeep. Ships need maintenance, crew members need training, and bursaries need funding. Without steady support, these elements weaken, and fewer young people can access places where they are trusted with responsibility, supported by mentors, and welcomed into an adventure that helps them grow.
When you support SALTS monthly, you join a dependable community that helps sustain our ongoing operations and build a strong foundation for the future. Your support keeps our voyages running, expands access through bursaries, maintains our fleet, and develops the mentors who make up our crews. And, because of that, young people can keep climbing aboard and discovering the confident, courageous leaders they were always capable of becoming.
Give monthly today and help young people flourish, one voyage at a time.
