New BedfordOur Environment
Fun, Safety, Learning is the cornerstone for CBC’s model. A safe environment for kids- socially, emotionally, and physically – built around fun engaging activities, leads to an amazing learning environment. Kids are constantly learning, even when they don’t realize they are learning!
Learn By Doing
We INVOLVE area youth age 5 to 24 in fun, hands-on activities using boating and the marine environment. We take kids out of their comfort zones and expose them to opportunities they never thought would be possible.
Mission
CBC’s Mission and Vision
CBC’s mission is to teach positive life values to youth through boating. With New Bedford’s past, present, and future tied to the waterfront, it is crucial to use the city’s number one asset to engage and inspire area youth. Our goal is for CBC to be a leader in the Greater New Bedford Youth Development Community. CBC connects thousands of greater New Bedford youth, ages 5 to 24, to the water through a wide range of year round programs, providing youth development, education, mentorship and access to a network of community partners.

CBC Today
Fast forward to today and we have grown well beyond our initial Summer Youth Sailing Program. The 5 boats we started with have grown to 100 and the number of youth we serve each year has increased from 80 in our early years to over 3000 today. We run year-round programs both in and out of school, using activities such as boating, boat building, remote-controlled boats, ocean stewardship and aquaculture to fulfill our mission of teaching positive life values to youth through boating.
