Description:

Sailing Instructor is an opportunity for experienced youth participants at TISC to start their journey as instructors. IITs receive training in leadership roles, including coaching fundamentals, safety management, and working with diverse young sailors. Participants will also gain practical experience by assisting instructors. 

Afternoons will focus on developing their sailing skills. As part of our Junior Leadership Program, Instructor-in-Training is a pathway toward working as a Junior Instructor (ages 16 - 17). The IIT course is available as often as the sailors wish to continue their growth in leadership - there’s always more to learn!
