Make a Donation!
We’re working with a non-profit organization called Friends of Odyssey. They are dedicated to helping fund our program and have graciously offered to take donations on our behalf. If you’d like to support our efforts, the best way is to donate on their site and then they’ll send us a grant with your money.
Of course, money isn’t the only way to help! If you have time, expertise, skills or connections and want to help in some way, please reach out! We’d love to have you involved!
There’s more than one way to help!
-
Donate Money
Your donated money will go towards things like vessel maintenance costs, sponsoring a youth for a particular trip or sponsoring a whole trip. Our trip fees are as minimal as we can make them, not every youth has the funds to cover such an opportunity. If you have a preference for what your money goes toward, please let us know!
-
Donate Time or Expertise
Whether you have expertise in sailing, maritime operations, marine engines, navigation or you’re an experienced Scouting leader, we’d be happy to add you to our team! (After you pass a background check, to keep our youth safe, of course.) Even if you are just willing to learn, we’d be glad to have you.

Donate Parts or Equipment
Even small replacement parts for Odyssey’s equipment can cost exorbitant amounts of money. A small block (pulley) the size of your hand can cost upwards of a hundred bucks and the cost to replace our mainsail is exponentially more. If you or your company are looking for a local non-profit to lend a helping hand to, please contact us and we coordinate the details. Plus, we’ll add you to our Supporters of Odyssey page!
