Our AHOY! Program is in the process of redesign as an out-of-school time
program slated to begin with Schooner Ernestina's return to homeport. We are seeking active, innovative educators
who can present an existing ocean curriculum along with maritime culture via the arts and history. If
you are interested, feel free to send us your qualifications.
