Help with Educational Programs Aboard Ship

If you enjoy maritime history and sharing your passion and knowledge with others, consider becoming a docent aboard the Spanish-American War cruiser USS Olympia or the World War II submarine USS Becuna, both National Historic Landmarks.

Independence Seaport Museum is looking for enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers to give tours and provide programming for the thousands of schoolchildren, camp groups, families, and tourists who visit each year.

Training is provided and docents can commit to as little or as much time as their schedules allow. For more information please contact Erika Sands at esands@phillyseaport.org or call 215.413.8616.

Help Build & Restore Wooden Boats

Workshop on the Water (WOW) is without a doubt one of the most fun places in the Museum -- a genuine working wooden boat workshop. Volunteers are integral to WOW and it is not necessary to be an experienced boat builder or expert wood craftsman. All skill levels are welcome. Volunteers work alongside experienced boatbuilders while learning each phase of wooden boat construction.

To join in the fun, call 215.413.8638 or email Workshop on the Water.
