The Seaman's Church Institute Center of Maritime Education in Paducah, KY is North America's largest and most comprehensive seafarer mariner service agency, providing support and services to international seafarers and U.S. mariners. With a history dating back to 1834, SCI is deeply committed to mariner wellness, pastoral care, maritime training and education, and advocacy for the men and women in the transportation industry.
Through their chaplaincy team, SCI offers pastoral care to mariners operating boats on U.S. inland waterways and the Gulf, tending to their spiritual and practical needs. Additionally, SCI's Center for Maritime Education provides training and feasibility studies to elevate the professionalism and safety of mariners' workspaces. With a strong focus on advocacy, SCI works on policies and regulations addressing issues such as piracy, crew abandonment, shore leave, and stowaways. Their volunteer knitting program, Christmas at Sea, brings holiday cheer to mariners isolated from their families.
