Volunteer

Volunteers and their families may sail on Perception and may bring guests if space is available. Veteran sailors, landlubbers, and those who would like to learn to sail a schooner are all welcome. Friendly and anxiety-free training is available from our paid captains and crew. Sailors of all ages will have the opportunity to experience a safe and calming environment and develop enduring friendships. All who experience sailing on Perception will feel the calming effects of our beautiful Great Lake.

All who experience sailing on Perception will feel the calming effects of our beautiful Great Lakes, a feeling of being at one with nature, a sense of one’s place in the universe, and the satisfaction of learning the skills of sailing a tall ship. Volunteers are asked to contribute a minimum of 15 volunteer hours. This may be in the form of maintenance work, working with students, skilled clerical, financial, fundraising, or technical help.
