Newport is famous for boating, and thanks to the IYRS School of Technology & Trades our students are actually learning how to build boats! Through IYRS's Summer Boat Building program, students learn carpentry, boat building, tool handling, and resume writing skills, all while receiving a paid stipend. What an amazing summer learning experience! ⛵

School may be out for the summer, but our students are still learning, having fun, and exploring our community thanks to One Newport partnerships with amazing local organizations like Bike Newport.🚲
