Volunteer

Volunteers support Peace Boat US work, and advocacy for shared goals like the UN SDGs, on an event or project basis. Our biggest opportunity is during Peace Boat visits to NYC 1-2 times each year and helping us organize large-scale events onboard the ship.

Whether you would like to support an event, work on a specific project (e.g. nuclear abolition), have a particular skill set to offer, or would just like to get involved, please contact us for more information!
