Los Angeles Maritime Institute (LAMI)

The Los Angeles Maritime Institute (LAMI) empowers youth to discover their greater potential through extraordinary at-sea experiences aboard educational sailing vessels built to train and equip young people with 21st-century leadership skills and inspire maritime and STEM career paths. They use hands-on experiences at sea to provide an array of social, educational and leadership development opportunities to upper elementary, middle, and high school students throughout Los Angeles County.

Volunteers can help with the crew training program, boat repair and upgrades, organization support, shop maintenance, fundraising, merchandise sales, administrative tasks, marketing support, and IT support.
