Volunteer
SBJSA relies on volunteerism to operate and maintain the sailing school and our Community Boating operation. All of the officers and directors of the corporation are volunteers, inspired by the many others that helped build SBJSA over the last sixty-plus years. As we grow and expand our program and course offerings, we need to continue relying on volunteers to make it all possible, whether it’s helping to welcome kids and parents at camp, repairing or waxing our boats, cutting the grass, performing other grounds or facilities cleanup and maintenance, working at our fundraising events or helping us run our annual Centrals on Sodus Regatta
Sponsor
As the only community based non-profit focused on providing public access to Sodus Bay and boating instruction, our Community Boating center offers a targeted sponsorship program and a variety of sponsorship options. Whether your goal is strategic philanthropy though our annual fundraising events like the SBJSA Max Buzzell Memorial Golf Tournament, Pancake Breakfast and Family BBQ, or scholarship program support, or simple brand recognition, we will create a customized program to align with the philanthropic goals of your organization.
In-Kind
Donations
In-kind donations are non-cash gifts, such as goods or services. Throughout the year our in-kind needs vary. This can include tangible gifts. If you are looking to provide services to support our organization, please see the volunteer area of the website.
Engraved
Paver
The SBJSA campus includes an awards court that includes a beautiful raised area of pavers. All across the Awards Court area there are pavers that can be engraved to honor or memorialize a loved one and/or show support of SBJSA with the name of a past camper, staff member, donor, family, Board member or anything else you’d like to say.
