Portal site - Ocean Youth Trust The Ocean Youth Club was founded in 1960 by Chris Courtauld and the late Chris Ellis and has since taken well over 100,000 young people to sea. Since the year 2000, the Ocean Youth Club has operated as a number of separate regional Ocean Youth Trust charities. To find out about current activities, please select one of the regions below.
