Brendan Sailing

The Brendan ApproachTM

Training and Certification for Sailing Programs

Brendan Sailing has been building self-esteem and increasing self-confidence in youth with learning differences for 35 years. We have developed it over the years and are now offering it to others! Now, we have developed the Brendan ApproachTM training to give sailing instructors the tools needed to improve their delivery of sailing curriculum. The half-day workshop is available virtually and includes classroom presentations, breakout sessions and attendee participation in problem solving and role playing. Instructors will receive a certificate of training upon completion. Thanks to the Kahlert Foundation for their assistance in making this possible.
