A voyage on Spirit is a positive and pivotal experience in the lives of the young people who get the chance. Our youth development programme offers many highly engaged days in an environment uninterrupted by technology and the distractions of home and school life. Each young person gets the chance unleash and discover their real potential.

The work of Spirit is supported and valued by so many throughout New Zealand and we simply could not do the work we do without funding from so many generous supporters who sponsor, donate and allocate grants to our work.

If you want to be a part of our mission to empower young New Zealanders through the challenge of the sea, you can make a donation and help us to empower tomorrow's future leaders and change makers.
