The Alpena Youth Sailing Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit started in 2001 by a passionate group of local sailors who wanted to introduce youth and adults to the world of sailing.
Over the years, we've had hundreds of students participate in our program. Some have gone on to lead the way in collegiate sailing and international regattas, and most importantly, many have returned to help run the very program that fueled their love for the sport!
Our goals have been simple and consistent since day one: keep our program fun, accessible, and affordable so everyone can experience this unique opportunity on the water. AYSC has come a long way from its early days, and we want to keep seeing those smiling faces for many more years to come.
As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of our community and students. If AYSC has touched your life, or if you simply believe in giving local kids the chance to learn the ropes, every contribution goes directly toward boats, safety equipment, and keeping this sport accessible for the next generation of young sailors.
