Volunteer

Volunteering for Draken is an excellent way of getting to know the crew and the people around Draken. It is also a great way to, later on, be selected as a crew member. It is also for you who don’t want to sail onboard but still want to contribute to this fantastic project. No previous experience is required.

We will generally provide volunteers with meals and accommodation. Volunteers are responsible for their transportation to/from the location.
We expect our volunteers to be physically and mentally fit, good team players, and follow directions well. Previous knowledge of wooden ships and/or related crafts is a plus but not a requirement.

Requirements:

  • 18 years and older

  • Good physical and mental health

  • Allowed to do volunteer work in the country where the volunteering is taking place
