Black Girls Set Sail is a transformative summer leadership and sail training program for Black girls and young women ages 13–24 across the Greater Toronto Area. Delivered in partnership with Broad Reach Canada and funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, this unique experience blends hands-on sailing with culturally relevant workshops designed to build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills.

Participants will spend a week on the water developing practical sailing skills while strengthening teamwork, communication, and self-trust. Through guided discussions and interactive workshops, they will also explore identity, leadership, and personal growth in a supportive and empowering environment.

Participants are grouped into age-based cohorts to ensure a meaningful and engaging experience for all. Following the summer sail training, participants will continue their journey through monthly workshops (July 2026 – February 2027), offered both in person and virtually, to deepen connections and ongoing leadership development.

The program is offered at no cost. Transportation, lunch, and snacks are provided.
