For over 75 years, the Clearwater Community Sailing Center has successfully served the local, national and international communities with a variety of sailing programs and events from introductory sailing instructions, youth programs, Olympic champion training, world class regattas and so much more. We have been providing unique life lessons learned through the sport of sailing, skills that produce the leaders and champions of tomorrow.
Our sailors reflect the diversity of the larger community as we successfully reach an increasing number of underserved children that would otherwise never considered sailing as an obtainable activity. To this end, CCSC seeks to eliminate financial and other demographic barriers that would prevent many kids from learning to sail.
CCSC continues to establish and cultivate synergistic collaborations with area agencies such as Hope Villages, in St. Petersburg, Grace House in Clearwater and the City of Clearwater. These efforts serve to expose the children and their parents to the value of engaging in sailing as a sport as well as to help remove financial barriers.
CCSC relies entirely on private funding from memberships, individual donors, and fundraising events to run the Center and provide scholarships. The Winds of Change annual event is one our primary means of outreach and funding for those underserved in our community. This is a fun way to support our mission and make a lasting difference in the lives of our local youth. Won't you help us be the "Winds of Change"?
