Overview
New England Science & Sailing Foundation (NESS) is an ocean adventure nonprofit that provides STEM-based education programs, on and off the water, for students from all walks of life. NESS uses sailing, marine science, powerboating, and adventure sports as teaching platforms. We engage everyone in experiential learning that builds confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills vital to their futures. NESS achieves this through its four core values of: Experiential ‘Hands- On’ Learning: Actively engaging students in the subject matter through doing, seeing, and feeling first hand Personal Growth: Empowering students to do things they have never experienced before and to discover their personal best Inclusiveness: Getting as many people out on the water as possible, learning and making new friends, regardless of financial means Stewardship: With discovery comes respect for our communities and natural environment. NESS students know that stewardship of the world’s oceans begins here, where they can hold the future in their hands.
