Volunteer With Us

Take part in these incredible opportunities by joining an expedition.

Overview of how a volunteer will spend a 7 week expedition:

• For the first two weeks, volunteers will enjoy spending their time training and bonding with the staff. This will include learning sail training and local marine science education along with current teaching methods.

• After training has been completed, we will begin arriving to local communities and taking the school children out on day cruises with their classes and teachers. During these cruises, volunteers and staff will be responsible for teaching hands-on marine science classes, sailing techniques and facilitating snorkeling activities.

• During each trip, volunteers will have days off to explore the local region on their own or just relax while sailing and snorkeling. During the entire expedition, volunteers will get most nights off to enjoy group bonding, relaxation or exploration on land. Volunteers will also be in charge of and rotate thru typical sailor duties such as watch, cooking, boat keeping and/or deck wash in the glorious Caribbean sun.

*Other expedition lengths are available. Prices vary depending on expedition length. Price includes accommodations and food throughout the expedition as well as any certifications gained. Volunteers must be 18 or older to participate. Contact Common Tides for further details.
