VOLUNTEER WITH US

Tall Ships Adventure is a registered charity and exists through the commitment and dedication of its volunteers. We may sail in the summer, but we operate year-round. We can only do this with the dedicated support of our volunteers. If you have a few hours a week to spare or even just a day or two, we would love to hear from you! No tall ship experience needed. Whatever your skills or interests, we can find a way to match them up with the vital work that keeps this program running. Earn your high school volunteer hours with us!

You will be a part of an enthusiastic team of crew and volunteers, meet people who share a love for sailing and youth development, and have fun! Volunteering at our work parties is a great way to gain tall ship knowledge and experience.
