The legacy that shapes our future.
Sir Ernest Shackleton’s extraordinary leadership, resilience and humanity continue to inspire generations. The Spirit of Shackleton programme brings his story to life through history, sailing, education and engagement, centred around our 70-foot purpose-built sailing vessel, which serves as a living platform for exploration, learning and youth development. Through real voyages and shared experiences at sea, Shackleton’s timeless values are transformed into practical lessons for today’s world.
Empowering young people through challenge and the sea.
In partnership with Atlantic Youth Trust, we use the power of sailing and adventure to build confidence, resilience and life skills in young people. By creating access to the ocean and hands-on learning, we help the next generation discover their potential and their place in the world.
Atlantic Shackleton Global Foundation offers organisations a distinctive opportunity to advance Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental, Social and Governance objectives through meaningful, measurable impact.
Our programmes integrate youth development, environmental stewardship, scientific research and education, delivered through offshore sailing, exploration and global outreach.
