Boatworks Alumni Program
What is the Boatworks Alumni Program? Our alumni are an important part of the Brooklyn Boatworks community. Our goal is to provide our alums with distinct opportunities to continue to grow and deepen the skills they acquired by participating in our programs, as well as form meaningful connections within and beyond the BKBW community. Hone your craft, expand your maritime and STEM knowledge, develop leadership skills, and make new friends, mentors, and memories! Please join us for the fun and engaging programming we have planned. We can’t wait to have you back!
Who Can Participate: Anyone who has previously participated in BKBW’s in school or Summer programming or a past Community Build. Check each event for age restrictions.
How to Register: You MUST register in advance to participate. Event registration is typically available about a month in advance of the program. Fill out the form at the bottom of each event page to register. You will receive a confirmation email with a link to the permission slip. Please submit the permission slip no later than a week before the event. If you have any questions, please reach out to our Program Manager, Eleanor Haskin: eleanor@brooklynboatworks.com.
