Community Initiatives

At LWSA, community is at the heart of our mission, and we are proud to collaborate with organizations like 603 United, Camp Resilience, and Adaptive Sailing to make a positive impact. Together, we strive to empower and enrich our community, spreading the joy of sailing and fostering meaningful connections that transcend the water.

Setting Sail Together: LWSA Partership with 603 United

603 United, a champion for social inclusion, and LWSA, dedicated to breaking down barriers in sailing, have joined forces to create a unique program that offers inclusive sailing opportunities for adults of all abilities, 18 and over.

This partnership aligns perfectly with the missions of both organizations. 603 United strives to foster a community that embraces healthy relationships, healthy lifestyles, and most importantly, inclusion. LWSA's vision is to make sailing accessible to everyone, regardless of limitations. Together, they are creating a program that allows participants to experience the joy of sailing while building camaraderie and confidence.

Summer 2023 603 Sailing Adventure

LWSA is dedicated to breaking down barriers that prevent people from enjoying the sport of sailing. This includes physical limitations and other challenges some might consider disabilities. We believe sailing can nurture water safety, self-confidence, teamwork, honesty, and a love for sportsmanship, all while fostering a deep appreciation for our environment.

Therefore, LWSA has partnered with various community organizations over the years to create opportunities for people with physical or mental disabilities, or those recovering from trauma, to experience the joy of sailing.

Are you or your organization interested in a day on the water, or a dedicated program? We'd love to hear from you!

Looking ahead, LWSA aims to build a stronger foundation and establish permanent programs accessible to people of all abilities, regardless of limitations or the need for adaptive equipment. Inclusive sailing is our aspiration, and we believe it can become a significant part of our community.

If you share our vision, please reach out - let's work together to make it happen!
