Youth/Pegasus Program
The Pegasus Project provides teenagers in the San Francisco Bay Area with opportunities to acquire sailing and scientific-technical skills, learn teamwork, and become environmentally sensitive. The project is organized around the Institute’s 45-foot research vessel, the Pegasus, and has three core components:
- taking classes from the East Bay School District for half-day sails using a curriculum that reinforces geography, science and social studies at the schools, in collaboration with the Shorebird Nature Center in Berkeley
- conducting an intensive summer program, in collaboration with the Berkeley Boosters and the Police Activities League for teenagers-at-risk
- upgrading the environmental performance of the Pegasus and developing thePegasus as the demonstration vessel for environmentally sensitive “green boating”
