Mission: The Junior Yacht Club designs and implements a wide range of activities and programs that promote the mission of the Club in way that are particularly appropriate to youth. It plans and encourages participation by younger people from member families in both water-related recreational and educational programs and in suitable land-based activities. It invites responsible attitudes and actions by young people, provides opportunities for age-appropriate leadership and helps youngsters within the Club community to form the skills and ideals that will create bonds leading to a lifetime value. The Junior Yacht Club ensures via close liaison with the SHYC Community Sailing Foundation that sail-education and other programs offered by the Foundation link effectively with youth and family activities at the Club, and helps the Foundation promote use of its programs by the children of members.
