Our goal through US Sailing's REACH program is to foster an interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) through sailing. The education challenge facing our nation calls for innovative ways to educate today's youth. REACH uses sailing as a source to provide youth with hands-on integrated learning opportunities that inspire interest in physics, marine biology, robotics, technology and more. Education that challenges today's youth will empower students to meet the needs of a changing technical workforce environment and become innovators for the 21st century and beyond.
