The Young Endeavour Youth Scheme is pleased to announce that applications are now open for young Australians aged 16-23 to join a voyage in the national sail training ship Young Endeavour.
A voyage on Young Endeavour is an exciting experience and a unique opportunity for youth to develop skills for life. The internationally recognised development program builds self awareness, develops teamwork and leadership skills, and fosters a strong sense of community responsibility.
24 youth from across Australia will join each eleven day voyage during the 2017 program. As members of the crew they will keep watch and take the helm, handle lines on deck, cook in the galley, navigate using the ship's charts, and climb the 30 metre mast to set and furl the sails.
Applications are open at www.youngendeavour.gov.au. Voyage fees and conditions will apply to successful applicants, who must be aged 16-23 years old on the day of departure of their selected voyage/s. Potential applicants should apply before April 2017 for the best chance of being drawn for a voyage.
