Description
OUR MISSION
Make Sailing ACCESSIBLE for ALL!
TRANSFORMING LIVES through the SPORT of SAILING
Dedicated to changing lives by inspiring and empowering disabled and underserved communities, US Veterans, and others with recreational, educational, and healing programs through the sport of sailing.
HOW WE GOT STARTED
Team Paradise, a not-for-profit sailing organization, was founded in 2005 by Olympic sailor Magnus Liljedahl. After winning the gold medal in Sydney in 2000, Magnus felt the need to give back to the sailing community. He focused on training athletes with Paralympic ambitions and had great success, with podium finishes at the 2008, 2012, and 2016 Paralympic Games. When sailing was eliminated from Paralympic competition, the mission and focus of Team Paradise evolved and expanded, and Magnus began offering sailing for veterans with disabilities and youth with diverse backgrounds.
WE ARE GROWING
In December of 2014, Team Paradise moved its base of operations to the US Sailing Center. This move provided increased opportunities to promote diversity in the sport of sailing, and allowed for expanded programming to educate and inspire lifelong sailors from all backgrounds. Over the past several years, Team Paradise has developed key relationships with leadership from the City of Miami, Miami-Dade County and the US Veterans Administration, and has significantly increased service to the local community by introducing sailing to youth from the local nonprofit organizations.
