Our MISSION at Global Voyage is to provide a unique educational platform that empowers youth and young adults with skill sets that will meaningfully impact their future, and to provide humanitarian service for individuals and communities in need. Global Voyage is a grant-based educational sailing and humanitarian aid organization that offers youth and young adults the opportunity to travel and learn how to operate a sailing vessel, while also serving the communities they visit by participating in humanitarian and environmental projects. Motivation and desire are the primary requirements for our programs. Student Crew Members (SCMs) must have the motivation and ability to engage in a challenging and educational experience, and the desire to expand their knowledge base, meet and engage with new people and environments, and contribute. Global Voyage is grant funded in order to eliminate financial barriers for individuals that typically would not be able to participate in similar tuition/for-profit based programs. SCMs are selected through an application and interview process thus having no bearing on personal financial ability.
