When children in sponsorship programs grow up, their sponsorship eventually ends. This is called "aging out." Young adults aging out of sponsorship programs are at great risk. Research shows these young adults, who lack a support system for transitioning to adulthood, are significantly more vulnerable to dangers such as HIV, prostitution, depression, suicide, alcohol and drug abuse, malnutrition, and death. Struggles for food and housing reduce their ability to complete their education. Unemployment impacts their ability to support themselves. We come along side with financial support, local mentoring and accountability, and spiritual guidance as these young adults leave their childhood sponsorships and move into post secondary education, careers, and independent adulthood.

The Oregon Youth Sailing Foundation was established with the purpose of encouraging, promoting, and supporting youth sailing in Oregon and Southwestern Washington. Particular attention is given to making sailing accessible to the low income and under served community. This is accomplished through targeting our donations to programs deemed consistent with our mission, as well as through encouraging volunteerism from among the sailing community and beyond.
