Tall Ships® Youth Adventure (TSYA) is a leadership and youth development education program that provides sail training to at-risk youth aboard large traditionally rigged sailing vessels. Per year, about 40-50 boys from the Ocean Tides School will experience sail training aboard tall ships to learn first-hand about maritime careers while building character and leadership skills. Ocean Tides students become sail trainees, participating as an integral part of the ship's crew. NCA/NCF
