Celebrating Youth-Built Boat Launches | Maine Boats Homes & Harbors

"Just Get Out In The Boat"

The happy crew of South Portland High School boat builders!

This spring the Compass Project celebrated a lot of hard work put in by kids in the Portland area, work that allowed students to create floating, useful works of art. Whether they created a 17', twin-sail craft or a rowing dinghy, these young people proved that they can work together to build something to last. Here are a few shots from our launches over the past few weeks.

Nothing beats launching small boats!

After a lot of hard work, afloat at last.

Compass Project is a youth development organization that offers year-round programs that use boat building to engage hard-to-reach kids. Compass Project partners with schools, community organizations, and volunteer mentors to provide unique and empowering experiences to over 200 youths a year.
