We Gen Zee Foundation

General information

Founded in 2023, WeGenZee Foundation was based on a successful model created over the course of multiple boating seasons by boat charter entrepreneur Cheryl Renee, who provided the opportunity for youths to learn and engage in preemptive deckhand tasks while working with Chez Renee Voyage. By participating, young people were able to discover an appreciation for not just the boating lifestyle, but also cultivate life skills like teamwork, resilience, and leadership. Immersed in a hands-on learning environment, they forged strong connections with seasoned professionals, granting them a unique edge in the working world. Thereby the idea was born to establish the all hands on deck initiative that would become the foundation of this non-for-profit organization.
