Table of Contents Introduction Networking and Community Resources


Reach is best implemented when educators incorporate outside resources and experts to provide students with up to date quality instruction with local application from real world scientists and engineers from their local community. Reaching out into your community is good advertising for your sailing center or classroom and everyone learns something new including your educators.

One way to begin this process is to contact your local watershed organization.


Invite them to run a 1-2 hour program for your students about their local waters. They will typically cover water quality assessment, bio indicators, and any particular environmental events that may occur such as a red tide or algal blooms at certain times of the year and why.


By reaching out to national organizations you may track down additional funding opportunities or underrepresented audiences that can benefit from a partnership or collaboration opportunity with you or your organization.
