Ocean Youth Trust Scotland

Who we are

Ocean Youth Trust Scotland are a leading youth work charity and the only national, voluntary organisation of its kind. Through our adventurous residential sailing voyages and the help of hundreds of volunteers, we support young people aged 12-25 to realise their true potential.

Over 700 young people from a diverse range of backgrounds sail with us each year for 5 or 7-days at a time. Working with groups and individuals, we support schools, young carers, youth groups, young people with additional support needs, sailing clubs and many more.

Vision

We believe that all young people, regardless of circumstance or ability, should have the opportunity to realise their true potential in order for them to live healthy, fulfilling lives, making a positive contribution to their community and to society in general.

Mission

We exist to inspire young people through the challenge of adventure under sail. Our voyages provide a uniquely powerful and extremely effective environment for the personal development of young people from all backgrounds.
