Volunteer

There are many ways to volunteer for Sea Shepherd both at sea and onshore.

Interested in joining the most active volunteer marine conservation ship crew in the world? Since Sea Shepherd was founded in 1977, hundreds of people from ages 18-80 have volunteered to crew on Sea Shepherd's various ships and campaigns. Join the ranks of veteran crewmembers who have shared in this unique life-changing, positive experience!

While space aboard the ships is limited, we look forward to considering anyone who is a Sea Shepherd member and has the enthusiasm and commitment to serve in the Whales Navy. We also have land-based volunteer opportunities at various locations in the USA and abroad. Click here to see how you can help Sea Shepherd onshore.
