Keeping Seaworthy Program alive

High school and middle school students with disabilities from five Greater Miami schools will be finishing up a 26-week water orientation program at Shake-a-Leg Miami at the end of May. The program, known as “Seaworthy,” involves students from Homestead Middle School, Felix Varela High School and Jorge Mas Canosa Middle School, My Own Teacher Academy, and Project Bridge. 

Seaworthy students learn kayaking, sailing, fitness, wellness and marine/environmental science to make improvements in their levels of fitness, knowledge, water safety and boating, social skills, self-sufficiency and self-confidence. The students attend the program one day a week for 26 sessions from October through May. Although the program was funded over the last 26 weeks by the Taft Foundation, funding for the coming October 2019 – May 2020 period has not yet been achieved.    

Any person or organization wishing to contribute to the coming year’s Seaworthy Program may do so by contacting Harry Horgan, Executive Director, at Shake A Leg Miami at harryh@shakealegmiami.org or by shakealegmiami.org.
