Description
The Compass Project is an experiential program that teaches job training and life skills through boat-building and rowing. Through hands-on programs, participants find new directions in work and in life. The Compass Project serves youth in Greater Portland schools drawn from a group of 2500 youth identified as at-risk. Since 2002, more than 250 youth from Greater Portland middle and high schools have benefited from Compass Project programs which teachers, school social workers and principals cite for their effectiveness in helping disadvantaged and underserved youth.
