The Alexandria Seaport Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Alexandria's maritime heritage and providing opportunities for disconnected youth between the ages of 18 and 23. Through their Apprentice Program, they offer hands-on learning experiences in woodworking and traditional boatbuilding, equipping young individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in employment and adulthood. With a focus on workforce readiness and life skills, the program pays apprentices $14 per hour and guides them through a comprehensive curriculum that includes woodworking, carpentry, academic tutoring, resume and interview training, financial literacy, and more. By providing a supportive environment and mentorship, the foundation helps these youth achieve milestones such as obtaining their high school diploma, attending college or trade school, securing employment, and establishing independent living environments. Through corporate sponsorships, donations, and volunteer support, the Alexandria Seaport Foundation continues to make a positive impact on the lives of disconnected youth and the community as a whole.Generated from the website
