The Oceanside Yacht Club Youth Foundation (OYCYF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was established in 2017 to provide financial support to students in grades K-8 interested in maritime activities that promote leadership and the development of critical thinking skills.

The mission of the OYCYF is based on the belief that sailing and other maritime education helps to build confidence, develop self reliance and encourages both teamwork, and sportsmanship. Through grants and scholarships, we provide funding to students that have an interest in these activities, but are unable to pursue them due to financial constraints.

If you are interested in helping to support the development of the youth in our community through maritime activities, please visit our site to learn more about how you can make an impact. www.oycyf.org
