A new program from the Dana Point Harbor aims to serve community youth.
Need another reason to love Dana Point? Its Underserved Youth Program makes ocean education and experiences accessible for at-risk kids. Developing community outreach programs was a big part of the harbor’s renovation. August 2022 marked the beginning of the harbor revitalization project. The harbor glow-up will span several years and feature stunning upgrades and improvements.
One of the most exciting improvements is the Underserved Youth Program. Spearheaded by Dana Point Harbor Partners (DPHP), this program is innovative and exciting. Its goal is to provide ocean education and activities for hundreds of underserved community youths. In fact, it’s projected that the harbor program will reach over 1,000 kids in 2023 alone. Ocean activities offered run the gamut from swim lessons to whale watching to surfing.
Of course, the DPHP can’t do it alone. They are partnering with Orange County non-profits to implement this important harbor program. These organizations include the YMCA, Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Orange County, The Boys & Girls Club of San Juan Capistrano, and San Juan Elementary School.
Bellwether Financial Group is also a key player in the new harbor program. Their mission is to ensure underserved youth have access to all types of ocean education.
In conclusion, the Dana Point Harbor revamp includes not only cosmetic improvements, but social justice upgrades as well. The $400 million harbor revitalization will undoubtedly drive up the price of real estate in the area.
