Maintenance is a never-ending process and is carried on both during and long after the sailing season has ended. No prior experience is necessary. Everyone interested will be trained by the Captain and crew on shipboard operations. Schooner volunteers have donated over 3,500 hours of their valuable time over the past year, allowing us to educate over 17,000 people from ages three through senior citizens about environmental concerns on Long Island Sound. Without their help, this would not have been possible.
Volunteers really do make a difference.
Internships Opportunities are available at Schooner. Our summer internships are limited in number requiring an application and interview. Those interested may contact the Schooner office for an application. We encourage persons with the desire but lacking experience to volunteer until they acquire more experience.
