The Herreshoff Marine Museum, in partnership with RIMTA, has created a new Summer Boatbuilding Program for youth between ages 14-16 who want to learn more about the marine trades. The six-week program incorporates work experiences, career exploration, sailing instruction, leadership development, adult mentoring, basic skills development and job readiness services.
Participants gain basic, academic and employment skills, earn their diploma and gain paid work experience, and receive a certificate of completion from RIMTA and HMM, all while learning to build Westport skiffs and from master shipwright Dan Shea on the historic Herreshoff campus. Participants will receive a weekly $100 stipend.
This summer's program is at capacity and underway, however, we will be running a second Boatbuilding Program in the Fall with RIMTA. If you have any questions, contact HMM Director of Education Kirk Cusic at (401) 396-5834 or.
