At the Los Angeles Maritime Institute (LAMI), we empower youth to discover their greatest potential through extraordinary at-sea experiences aboard one of our tall ships - educational sailing vessels built to train and equip young people with 21st century leadership skills, and inspire maritime and STEM career paths. These hands-on learning experiences through sail training help them develop team building, problem-solving and leadership skills, while giving real-life context to STEM subjects and raising awareness about environmental impacts to the world around them. As a non-profit, we also empower youth from under-resourced communities thanks to generous community support, and we have volunteer opportunities for both youth and adults.
