The I CAN Foundation is a non profit organization with the mission to foster hope, opportunity, and positivity for underserved youth worldwide for a successful future.
We do this through our two programs: S/Y Wisdom and Robin’s Tent.
S/Y Wisdom
On our 100ft sailboat we take aged-out foster children on 80-day trips around the Caribbean. On their journey they learn essential life skills, participate in outreach and conservation programs and get certified in 10+ certifications, including sailing and diving. It is a transformational journey for these young adults to be exposed to new culturals and new skills.
Robin’s Tent
Community events that run every Saturday around the world. Currently we are set up in Costa Rica, Antigua, Bahamas and South Africa. Through our local volunteers we currently have over 1000 kids visit our tents, every week. We provide a hot meal, play sports with them, and give them a safe space to interact with one another. Through our tents, we give underserved youth consistency in their lives, simply by having our presence each week. Through our Robin’s Tent in Costa Rica we have set up English, swimming and soccer lessons. Our goal is to continue to implement this lesson structure at our current locations and future locations.
“Our vision is to empower under-recognized youth with the ambition, confidence and know-how to build any future they can possible imagine.”
