Instructor Trainee Program
For students who have participated in the PPSC youth sailing
program and are ready for an additional challenge, we offer the
Instructor Trainee Program (IT Program). During their time as an
IT, students not only learn sailing skills but they build leadership
skills and self-esteem while giving back to the community. Beyond
the goal of instilling in the students these important skills,
the IT program aims to enrich the lives of those who engage in
it. PPSC offers a $500 stipend to ITs who successfully complete
the program.
ITs learn the basic groundwork for becoming an instructor. All the advanced
skills that are needed to be a successful instructor are taught, including
advanced navigation, solo sailing, and teaching methods. ITs also assist instructors
on the boats and ashore during program hours, working directly with students
to practice the skills they are learning.
Students must be at least 14 years of age.
