If your child is interested in a future career with SYC as a lead Instructor/Coach we've developed a pathway where they can develop the essential technical and interpersonal skills required. They don’t need to be the best sailor, or the most confident speaker, we have a team of experienced Instructors who will support them in their growth.
What we are looking for:
Professional – Show respect to our young sailors, parents, and members of the public. Keep our boats, club houses and dress clean. When you’re working with us you’re representing SYC.
Proactive – Ask questions, work hard, take on responsibilities, show us that you want to be here!
Personable – As an Instructor, parents and want to know who’s safeguarding their children, and young sailors want to know who’s supporting their growth. Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone and talk to people!
Again, you don’t have to be perfect, and we don’t expect it!
As a Mentor you’ll:
Support lead Instructors in the development and delivery of session plans
Offer personal mentorship to younger sailors
Assist in the set-up and pack down of sessions
Learn boat mechanics, maintenance, handling, and sail repair
As well as clean! Every Sailors duty
