We are extremely grateful,” said Safe Harbor’s Executive Director Robbie Smith. “This money will allow us to add additional bathroom facilities to increase our capacity and better serve the boys currently in the program.” Since its beginning in 1984, Safe Harbor has helped more than 500 boys become productive members of society. In addition Safe Harbor has helped thousands of families with the referral and telephone counseling service.  There are many educational programs that Safe Harbor offers to the boys. High school diploma programs and vocational trades are just a few to mention. Safe Harbor admits boys age 14 -18 who are fatherless, lost one or more parents due to death, and those who are experiencing problems at home who need an alternative setting. But it is more than just a shelter; it is a facility of hard work and learning. The mission is to help boys get back on their feet.The most unique quality of this organization is that the boys stay in boats beside the facility. This enables the boys to learn seamanship. Along with that they learn all the things there is to learn about sailing and boating which tie in to other functions of a productive member of society (i.e. knowledge, respect, self-reliance and perseverance).
