Help children develop resilience through Ocean Academy’s positive youth development program.
The youth mental health epidemic is a massive problem. Together, we help 300 students each summer develop prosocial behaviors and protective factors that shield them against the onset of mental health problems. We measure student outcomes through collaborative research, and our program is proven to work.
Please consider choosing annual giving at the top of the donation form. Ongoing support empowers Ocean Academy to serve more youth from financially strained families.
Your gift is 100% tax-deductible in the United States.
