Support Our Programs
Join us in expanding the “Wright of Passage” program and building this amazing initiative to reach the more vulnerable young adults in our community.
Our ocean racing yachts are
Big, exciting & safe.
For children living with disabilities, our yachts provide a stable inclusive platform that can accommodate all, including wheelchair users.
For young people who are at risk or disadvantaged
Dream of being so much more.
We put all the sails up for young people at risk or experiencing disadvantage and push the boat to its limits. It’s all about inclusion, pushing the boundaries, teamwork, communication, respect, optimism, overcoming challenges and problem-solving.
Working with
School Students
We work with students from special needs schools or schools with support units along the Eastern Seaboard. These students benefit most from our programs.
Teachers
What Teachers are saying
Teachers truly appreciate the work of our volunteers to help them prepare students to participate more effectively in the community.

Donor
"One of the reasons I give to Making Waves is because 85% of every dollar goes directly to the program."
How?
How does 85% go to the program
Well partly because our volunteers run the programs and generous donors support us.
Whether you are an individual, a company, a trust or foundation, you can support Making Waves and help us grow the program.
Over the next year, we will be able to take 5,000 students on life-changing sailing adventures. We want to double that again in the next two years.
We can only do this with support.
