S/Y Wisdom
Our sailboat, Wisdom, takes young adults aging out of the foster care system on 80-day trips through the Caribbean. On their journey, they learn cooking, cleaning, financial responsibility, conflict management and other essential life skills. They will gain accredited PADI diving, IYT sailing and first aid certifications while participating in outreach and conservation projects. Along the way, the shipmates will engage in intercultural experiences and develop a global perspective. Through this adventure, we aim to inspire a future of infinite possibilities…
Robin's Tents
Robin’s Tents are an event that happens every Saturday throughout the Caribbean.

Rarely would these homes have water or even access to a kitchen….

Majority of children do not know how to speak English in Costa Rica…

None of us have a say in the environment or community we are born into. The situation that you grow up in and the people that you are surrounded by shape the future that awaits you. The Caribbean children that we target through our mentorship program are growing up in communities with extreme poverty…
