The KeelMID Program What is KeelMid? KeelMid is a comprehensive learning/citizenship program. KeelMids are nominated on the basis of outstanding potential for community benefit. Participants are middle school age to senior high-school students. They begin with a rank of Mid (midshipman or midshipwoman) and progress in rank based on individual progress on goals and on peer recommendation.

KeelMids identify needs and strengths before joining a berth and develop short and long-term plans with progress measurement strategy collaboratively. Each KeelMid has the responsibility of holding each other honest and accountable.

Mids who progress demonstrate Good Keel (the competencies, attitudes, and values that demonstrate leadership, emotional intelligence, effective learning, and citizenship).
