The Fairhaven Project Presents

The Mission

The mission of The Fairhaven Project is to foster leadership development among young adults living in conflicted areas of the world through maritime education and training programs that integrate traditional sea-going experiences with ocean science, technology and media to augment conflict resolution and team-building exercises.

"Since early American sailing history, Fairhaven has been a safe harbor for sailors. It's no less so for this group," said Bob Senseney of the federal Bureau of Oceans, Environment and Science, which helped put the 2008 inaugural program together.

The word ‘fairhaven’ means ‘safe harbor’ and that is exactly what the program strives to create – a safe harbor – a place for its participants to be safe and enjoy life as young adults.
