Life on an island brings many challenges , but also provides opportunities, like career paths in the marine industry. Launched in 2018, MBW Marine is our newest program and will teach our youth boat and engine repair and maintenance. Students will learn skills in fiberglassing, rigging, plumbing, electrical systems, welding, carpentry, and diesel engine repairs. Students will see first hand how to read boat plans and learn how boats are built.

MBW Marine will work with other partners in the USVI to expose our youth to the many career paths that are in this field, from working in marinas to joining the coast guard to working on vessels.
