the mission of an offshore ally
Here we talk about what they’ll be doing. What is required of them for the beach cleanups? community projects? do we want to encourage people to bring their unique skillset to ‘donate’, if they’re good at videography, photography, social media, cooking, etc?
The life of a sailor.
Do they need sailing experience? Will they learn to sail? who is responsible for teaching them the ropes? What responsibilities do people share on the boat? cooking, cleaning, fishing, grocery shopping, etc. What does the daily routine look like? how is the boat organized? how do you plan to share time navigating crossings?
Your Impact.
your adventure.
highlight the tangible community and environmental impacts they’ll make. then, discuss the destinations, the experiences, hidden beaches, meeting locals, learning about different cultures.
Who can apply?
Repeat whether or not sailing experience is included. are people allowed to apply with friends? what are you looking for in volunteers? what ages are welcome? the volunteers must be able to fly to meet the boat— how does that work? health issues? special skills? a good time to mention again that someone with special skills might be prioritized.
What’s included?
Are meals included? obviously not flights. port fees per person? money people spend on land, drinks, excursions on ‘days off’. safety training included? will they need to buy travel health insurance? (check list)
