A Trip on
the Mississippi, July 23rd - 27th
|
 
 |
 NEW
Map of last year's trip by our Apprentices
|
| Our hard-working apprentices, Mario, Cassie,
Chris, Tyrone, Brian, Moises, Lee, Jordan, Toua, and Kou invite
you to join them either in person or through your
financial support as they paddle and row 80 miles
down the Mississippi River. They have
acquired persistence, craftsmanship, teamwork,
and self-confidence while learning how to build
boats and now are eager to learn how to handle
and use those boats. Urban Boatbuilder's Mississippi Passage is a way for them to accomplish that in the context of an affirming community of fellow passage-makers. You can express your support for these ambitious young men either by joining them on the river and raising pledges from your own supporters or by making a financial pledge on behalf of the apprentices. All proceeds will be used by Urban Boatbuilders to provide boat building and associated character and skill development opportunities to a greater number of inner city youth. The trip will take four days and consist of four legs. You can participate in all four of them, join us for just one to three of them, or simply make a financial pledge. |
