Aac

Adopt-A-Class was founded by the Ocean Institute Board twenty years ago to enable underserved students from primarily Title I schools in low-income communities to visit the Ocean Institute for no fee. To this day, generous sponsors provide unique opportunities for hands-on, out-of-the-classroom learning, which broadens horizons and opens new pathways to successful futures.

Our Adopt-A-Class program enables underserved students from Title I schools across California, to visit the Ocean Institute for hands-on STEM education. The Adopt-A-Class program is crucial to give these students the opportunity to take their learning beyond the classroom. The program is truly life-changing for these students, as many have never seen the ocean, or been on a boat before.

With your generosity, underserved students from Title I Schools in San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles Counties will have an opportunity to learn marine science, maritime history and study the ocean environment while having fun! The cost of $3,500 funds program fees for up to 45 underserved students.

Any amount contributed makes a difference!
