People in Northern California and all across the world rely on mariners to operate ships 365 days a year to move the goods they need. These seafarers are away from home for months at a time. Seamen’s Church Institute (SCI) is North America’s largest mariners’ service agency, a non-profit operating since 1834. SCI Bay Area is located at the Port of Oakland and provides services to more than 6,000 men and women annually.
