<div>Empowering Girls Through Maine Lobstering – Help Launch This Program!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Goal Amount:

</div>

<div>7500

</div>

</div>

<div>Main Story:

</div>

<div>Hello, my name is Lindsi Hanson, and I’m launching a first-of-its-kind program in Maine that teaches younger girls real lobstering skills, hands-on, directly on the water.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Girls today rarely get the chance to experience Maine’s maritime traditions up close — especially in a safe, guided, and educational setting. I want to change that.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This program will empower girls to:

</div>

<div>• Safely haul lobster traps

</div>

<div>• Learn ocean safety and proper gear

</div>

<div>• Understand lobster rules &amp; conservation

</div>

<div>• Do knot-tying and buoy reading

</div>

<div>• Build confidence, independence, and teamwork

</div>

<div>• Gain REAL on-the-water skills they will never forget

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Why I Need Funding:

</div>

<div>To launch this program, I need help with the startup costs, including:

</div>

<div>• Partnering with a licensed captain and securing boat time

</div>

<div>• Safety gear for the girls

</div>

<div>• Insurance

</div>

<div>• Buoys, bait, totes, and basic lobstering equipment

</div>

<div>• Marketing and community outreach

</div>

<div>• Permits and operational costs

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your support will directly help local girls — and visiting families — access a unique, empowering experience rooted in Maine’s heritage.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>How Your Donation Helps:

</div>

</div>

<div>$50 sponsors bait &amp; supplies for a session

</div>

<div>$100 supports program insurance &amp; licensing

</div>

<div>$250+ helps hire a captain and secure boat time

</div>

<div>Any amount helps bring this to life for girls in our community

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My Promise:

</div>

<div>I am fully committed to building something positive, safe, and life-changing for girls. With your help, we can launch the first season and grow from there.

</div>
