A great summer opportunity!
Common Tides is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We have an upcoming trip to the US Virgin Islands which is aimed at providing free marine science and sailing programs to underserved local children of the islands. As you know, our trips rely on motivated, passionate college students who help us teach these programs over the summer. We are currently accepting applications to join.
Thanks to those who joined us in 2017, we were able to teach 65 children and 16 adults. Please see the flyer available at the link below for additional information.
With the 2017 hurricanes having devastating effects, we look forward to our programs being a part of the continued recovery.
Please visit our website, www.commontides.org, for further details. Please note: There is a fee for the participants which this covers their food, stay on the sail boat, and training.

The mission of Common Tides is to inspire passion through ocean education and stewardship to bring about positive change. We do this by providing a free marine science program along with sail training to young students that live in underserved communities. The goal of the program is to provide these children with more education about their oceans so that in the future they can be empowered to fill conservation roles, eco-tourism jobs, and further understand their connection with the ocean. Participants that join us for our trips will be an integral part in teaching all aspects of our program. We will be training our participants in the marine science and sailing curriculum which is aimed at the broad oceanic picture with a focus on the regions we are visiting.
