Maritime Gloucester needs your talent and time! Becoming a volunteer will help Maritime Gloucester provide the best programs and experiences to our members, visitors, and community. 

​

We offer 4 unique volunteer roles to suit your interests and our diverse set of needs. We ask that everyone attend one volunteer training session before they begin volunteering with us. We ask that volunteers volunteer with us at least two times per month during our busy June-October season but we will happily take you for more time.

 

To get started please read the descriptions of the different volunteer roles and fill out the below application, selecting the role that best suits your interests. Feel free to contact us with any additional questions at info@maritimegloucester.org.
