Hudson River Community Sailing is a nonprofit organization based in New York City that uses sailing education to develop leadership and academic success among underserved urban youth. The program integrates mathematics, science, and leadership training within an on-water learning environment, serving middle and high school students through its Sail Academy and expanding access by establishing a second Sail Academy in a higher-needs neighborhood. In addition to youth programming, HRCS operates a Community Sailing center that provides affordable water access to the broader New York City community, and offers internships that enable students to gain hands-on experience across the organization.

Founded in 2008, HRCS has grown from serving a small group of students at one high school to reaching hundreds of students from multiple schools over an academic year. The organization has historically broadened its scope to include adaptive sailing programs for youth and adults with disabilities, reflecting an emphasis on inclusive access to sailing and outdoor recreation. Recent activity includes recognition for its adaptive programming and continued events such as its annual Sailing for Scholars Gala and Regatta, highlighting ongoing partnerships and community engagement in the New York area.
