At Making Waves, we’re opening doors to economic mobility. Our programs provide students with the educational opportunities, career skills, and financial freedom to meet their goals and thrive. We partner with students as early as 5th grade through high school, college, and into their careers.
Dive into the maritime industry with this hands-on, paid career exploration program designed for rising high school juniors and seniors. Over three immersive days, you’ll work through real maritime scenarios, connect with professionals, and tackle an authentic industry challenge – all while getting paid for your participation.
We are seeking students who are curious about Bay Area maritime: the ferries, container ships, ports, and people that keep the world supplied and connected. You don’t have to love the ocean to work in maritime. You just have to want to be part of what moves the world. No prior experience is necessary.
Applications are open until April 24 at 9 AM. Learn more and apply today!

Making Waves Education Foundation is a Bay Area nonprofit that supports Making Waves Academy – a public charter school with more than 1,000 5th through 12th grade students – and leads college and career programming with more than 430 college students.
Knowing the opportunities that come with a college degree, we partner with historically underrepresented and underserved students to help make college affordable and graduation attainable. Centering the journeys of our students, our personalized approach includes college and career coaching, scholarships, and financial planning.
