Volontär werden

The volunteering program on the Shtandart is for those who —

• has time, energy, and great will to become a member of the ship’s crew,
• dreams to find friends and team-mates from different countries and to become a part of a close team,
• would like to learn something new,
• is fond of the sea, sailing, and adventures!

Shtandart needs you! The ship was built by shipbuilding enthusiasts and continues to thrive, thanks to voluntary assistance. The volunteer team is a consolidated group that has been supporting the project for many years, helping it stay on course.

Join our volunteer program to become a part of the Shtandart’s team and sail with the Shtandart.

There are several ways to contribute:

• Participate in the maintenance work. You can come to Shtandart in autumn or winter for maintenance work. 3 days of participation in repairs or wintering = 1 day at sea. We will account for your active participation in the affairs of Shtandart over the past 3 years: repairs in port, gangway watches during festivals, help with the website, etc.
• Work on a ship for several months. We are looking for people who can come for a long time – from 3 to 6 months. That’s because newcomers usually need some time to get to know the ship and find out how they can really help. The professional crew must approve the presence of a long-term volunteer on board. We will consider each application individually and confirm it via WhatsApp or email.
• Help remotely. You can regularly help us via the remote volunteer program – just write us an e-mail at voyage@shtandart.eu
• Stand out as a trainee. You can also participate as a trainee on one or more voyages of the Shtandart and prove yourself as a very smart and helpful participant. The decision is made by the captain on board at the end of the voyage.

Note that from 01.01.14, there is a fee collected from all volunteers on board the Shtandart to cover port and food expenses  – €10 per day.
