Project 100 ✅

The Ship was honored to partner with Never Surrender and have the Ship staff come together to run 100 miles from San Diego to LA in 24 hours.

We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be part of something that brought people together and reminded us how much can happen when we’re willing to do hard things side by side.

Our mission is to invest in kids, walk alongside them, point them toward purpose, and make a lasting impact in their lives.

We’re grateful and excited for what’s ahead.

Welcome Aboard 🚢🚢

To God be the Glory.

Today, The Ship begins Project 100 a 100 mile relay from San Diego to Los Angeles alongside @neversurrenderamerica.

We’re running to launch our mission of mentoring the next generation through faith, community, fitness, leadership, and life skills. Every mile represents a young person who deserves guidance, hope, and someone who believes in them.

As a new nonprofit, every donation helps us build the foundation for future mentorship programs, camps, and life changing opportunities for high school students.

If you believe in investing in the next generation, we’d be honored to have your support.

Mission

Our mission is to mentor young people through faith, community, fitness, and life skills. We provide camps, mentorship, leadership development, mental health support, and career exposure to help youth succeed in life.

Our Initiatives

Mentorship & Community

Building relationships that last a lifetime.

At The Ship, mentorship is at the heart of everything we do. We connect high school students with caring mentors who provide encouragement, accountability, and guidance through every season of life. Our goal is to ensure every student feels seen, valued, and supported long after camp ends.

Faith & Character Development

Anchored in faith. Driven by purpose.

We believe true leadership begins with strong character. Through faith-based teaching, personal testimonies, and meaningful conversations, students are encouraged to discover their identity, strengthen their values, and develop a life rooted in purpose, integrity, and service.

Fitness & Mental Resilience

Building strong minds through physical challenges.

Physical fitness is one of our most powerful teaching tools. Whether it's endurance training, outdoor adventures, team competitions, or group workouts, students learn discipline, perseverance, confidence, teamwork, and mental toughness, skills that extend far beyond athletics.

Leadership & Life Readiness

Preparing students for success beyond high school.

We equip young people with practical skills that prepare them for adulthood. Through financial literacy, career exploration, networking opportunities, resume workshops, interview preparation, and leadership training, students gain the confidence and tools they need to pursue their future.
