Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

The Apprenticeshop is a community that cultivates thinkers, makers, and doers through traditional boat building and seamanship to navigate an ever-changing world.

  • APPRENTICE Program: At The Apprenticeshop, we learn by doing and we believe that all people are capable of building and sailing boats. By navigating challnges within a supportive community, we come to understand what we are capable of, and to build resilience, self-confidence and resourcefulness in the process. Our apprentice program is anchored in hands-on, experential education with the boat as the curriculum. During the season, seamanship is practiced weekly with two week-long expeditions a year. Apprenticeships last either 12 weeks, 9 months, or 2 years. We also offer short workshops for adults in boatbuilding-related skills on evenings and weekends.

    Expenses $190,383 · Grants $5,400 · Revenue $31,922

  • Sailing youth and adult: From March through October we provide access to the water and our maritime heritage for sailings programs for ages 6 and up. Our programs include: a) Fall and Spring High School Sailing; b) Fall Middle School Sailing; c) Youth Summer Sailing Camp; and d) Adult Sailing courses. No previous experience is required and all participants are given the opportunity to develop resilience, self-confidence and resourcefulness while building seamanship skills in a fun and supportive environment. With support from organizations and individuals, we strive to make all of our programs accessible regardless of ability to pay.

    Expenses $110,988 · Revenue $99,666

  • Jr. Apprenticeship: For local youth in middle and high school, we partner with school districts in the region to offer a Jr. Apprenticeship. Students come to the Apprenticeshop during and after school to learn both traditional boatbuildlng and seamanship. The Jr. Apprenticeship is centered around the construction of two vessels, an 8' lapstrake sail & row pram and a 40' traditional Portuguese sailing sardine carrier. Jr. Apprentices learn hard skills, such as shop safety, hand and power tool use, woodworking, knot tying, sailmaking, rowing, and sailing, alongside the soft skills of working and problem solving within a team. As with all of our programs, the Jr. Apprenticeship requires collaboration and pushes young people to see what they are capable of, while building resilience, self-confidence, and resourcefulness in the process.

The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
