SBMM has been an invaluable member of the community in a variety of different ways. The programs are forward thinking, proactive, and engaging. Marine Science, Maritime on the Move, and the Girls in Ocean Science programs to name a few, are programs that are meeting the needs of the students and opening students’ minds and hearts to our wonderful maritime culture.
Help Kids Take a Deep Dive into Ocean Education
The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM) reaches broadly into the community to deliver many educational opportunities. Just last year, SBMM provided 183 programs to 4,801 students in 14 cities. Through scholarships and discounts, SBMM programming brings equity and access to locally underserved students, creating social change by reducing historic barriers to coastal access and experiences. “SBMM goes beyond walls to provide youth with experiences they would not otherwise receive in the classroom,” says SBMM Executive Director Greg Gorga. “We work with naturalists, artists, and educators, and have amazing community partnerships. None of these opportunities would be possible without donor support.”
