Sail Chicago Mission Statement

Sail Chicago is a not-for-profit volunteer-run community sailing program that seeks and welcomes membership as diverse as the city itself. Its mission is to offer quality instruction in sailing and boating safety in an equitable and inclusive environment, and to provide affordable sailing opportunities to its members and others in the Chicago area. 

Sail Chicago is run entirely by volunteer members. 

And despite having more than 200 members, 13 boats, a fully developed sailing instruction program for all levels of sailing, a racing program, community sailing outreach programs, maintenance crews, social sailing events, member meetings and being an accredited US Sailing school, there's not a single paid staff member. Consider donating to help us continue to expand our organization, and help bring sailing within reach for more Chicagoans. 

Thanks, 

The Sail Chicago Board
