Your contributions make a material difference.
Otago University have tracked our programme since 2017. They collect data to measure a shift in self-esteem, confidence, a positive outlook and their view of the themselves and the world around them. The data confirms what we see anecdotally and hear in our stories.
The University of Otago’s research specifically examines the resilience of young people and the research indicates that our voyages are very beneficial in improving self-esteem and confidence. You can read our research here.
