Sponsorship Opportunities

2022 marks the Los Angeles Maritime Institute’s 30th year as a nonprofit empowering children to realize their full potential through at-sea educational adventure. LAMI has had a profound impact over these three decades, enriching the lives of more than 110,000 youth with hands-on educational programs.

Join LAMI this year in celebrating its lasting legacy and supporting its future successes – Become a proud sponsor of LAMI’s 30th Anniversary year of events and opportunities!

In 1992, Capt. Jim Gladson, an avid sailor and a retired school teacher, and his friends made official their passion of enriching children’s lives through sailing and the sea.

Thirty years later, LAMI is a beacon of transformative experiential education and opportunity and has grown to serve the Los Angeles County area and beyond with four majestic educational tall ships based out of San Pedro and Long Beach, California. The organization’s immersive youth education programs and robust adult volunteer opportunities continue to be founded in LAMI’s TopSail philosophy of “Using the sea to educate about life.”
