VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES - SAILING SHIPS MAINE
Sailing Ships Maine is a volunteer-run organization. Please join us!
Here are some volunteer areas:
Teach sailing to middle and high school students and adults. We need sailors who would enjoy teaching others.
Manage boats. We own and operate more than 20 boats and volunteers fix and maintain them while learning the skills of boat ownership.
Recruit students to sail with us. Adult volunteers bring in the kids.
Manage and Maintain Schooner Sara Jane and SV Brightside. This is a fascinating area for volunteers interested in woodworking, ship systems, paint and varnish and the skills needed to maintain classic sail training vessels both wood, cold-molded and fiberglass.
Raise scholarship funds so every Maine student can sail regardless of their ability to pay tuition.
Help with events such as Portland SchoonerFest & Regatta, Tall Ship festivals, individual ship visits, Saturday night sunset sails, our annual meeting and future events not yet created.
Help with Operations, finance, governance and program
