The Northland Nautical Foundation is a California non-profit organization and a registered public charity that promotes educational opportunites for youth and adults in seamanship and navigation, maritime career skills, environmental awareness and leadership training. The Foundation provides practical application of math, science, communication and learning skills in a maritime environment to youth and adults inspired by boats and the sea. Our primary focus is at risk, underprivileged youth in the Bay Area who would not otherwise have safe, low cost access to training in a nautical environment.
