The Florida Institute for Saltwater Heritage has received a grant from the Estate of Jay K. Turner to establish and operate a youth maritime program.

Jay Turner visualized a youth maritime program creating personal growth and self awareness in its participants by exposing them to conditions which would call upon them to develop their own inner strengths as well as to develop interdependence with all the program’s participants.

Our mission is to promote character building and personal growth through the introduction and exposure to Florida’s maritime heritage, traditional boat-building practices, and seamanship.

Our vision in 2012 is for the Turner Youth Challenge program to be leading the charge of maritime-based educational experiences in Florida.
