About Compass Project

The Compass Project is an experiential program that teaches job training and life skills through boat-building and rowing. Through hands-on programs, participants find new directions in work and in life.

The Compass Project serves youth in Greater Portland schools drawn from a group of 2500 youth identified as at-risk. Since 2002, more than 600 youth from Greater Portland middle and high schools have benefited from Compass Project programs which teachers, school social workers and principals cite for their effectiveness in helping disadvantaged and underserved youth.

Maine Built Boats invites all Maine boat builders, boat building schools and industry partners to join the effort to market Maine's old world craftsmanship, innovation and cutting-edge technologies to the boating community in Maine, nationally and internationally!
