Investing in our Youth

Thanks to our amazing community support and 100 years of leadership with our youth programs, Youth Marine Foundation successfully completed the capital campaign to purchase and bring to Pierce County, Washington a world-class training vessel from the Sea Star Base in Galveston, Texas.

MV Doolin-Rogers has been a game changer for the South Sound, as it will provide thousands of potential maritime employees with the skills and knowledge needed
to succeed in the industry.

MV-DR also serves as a valuable resource for marine science education programs, promoting environmental stewardship and sustainability among the youth in our community.

We are grateful for the support we have received and look forward to continuing our mission to provide youth maritime and marine science training.
