The Indiana Sailing Association is launching a new program this year as part of the “Communities in Schools Integrated Student Services” grant. The Indiana Sailing Association is providing a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum along with introductory sailing experiences in an afterschool program format as part of the grant.

The grant is being led by Communities in Schools of East Chicago in collaboration with the Indiana Sailing Association, Calumet College of St. Joseph, and HealthVisions Midwest. A portion of the program funding is made possible by the Foundations of East Chicago.

The Indiana Sailing Association appreciates the collaborative support of the City of East Chicago, East Chicago Marina, Port Authority of East Chicago, and the many other supporters who have helped to make youth sail training possible for more than 25 years.
