Ocean Youth Trust South is an award-winning charity which provides personal development opportunities for young people aged 11-25, with the majority disadvantaged or vulnerable. The charity takes young people to sea in their beautiful 105-foot sailing vessel, Prolific, to develop confidence, teamworking, communication, resilience, the ability to cope with new situations and deal with setbacks and much more. Young people sail as active crew members and can earn sailing qualifications - but it can also be an opportunity to make friends with others facing similar problems at home or at school.
