Engaging Hispanic Youths in Recreational Boating Education – Spanish Language

         This “seminar-style” 44-page handbook is presented in THE SPANISH LANGUAGE for youths at least 8 years old as their introduction to basic boating education. Knowledge gained by the youths includes safe boating practices, awareness of dangers, and necessary boating skills. The focus for this basic education is for the student to become a partner in command, a person who knows safe boating practices, is able to recognize when help is needed and lend a hand for correct actions. The seminar serves as a foundation for continued recreational boating education. Upon successful completion of this seminar the student is ready for “state required” basic boating knowledge education in America’s Boating Course 3rd Edition (ABC3), and to participate in “on-the-water training” for recreational boaters. 
        An excellent time to present the seminar is while relatives or guardians are enrolled in ABC3, it’s on-the-water training supplement, or other USPS University education events. 
        Teaching aid PowerPoint presentations to support presentation are downloadable at no cost in Spanish and English languages. They are available for downloading from the Educational Department home page, EdDept Information Center, For Instructors, Downloadable Course Materials. Seminar completion is recognized by copying and filling out the certificate imbedded in the booklet. Completion records should reside with the sponsoring USPS Squadron as an ABC3 student source.
