Work Experience Paperwork
Challenge Yourself with Young Endeavour
Young Endeavour Youth Scheme is pleased to announce that applications for youth development voyages scheduled in STS Young Endeavour from July-December 2022 are now open.
Since 1988, more than 14,000 young Australians aged 16-23 have joined national sail training ship Young Endeavour on a life changing voyage.
Our internationally recognised youth development program builds self-awareness, develops leadership and communication skills, and fosters a sense of community responsibility in participants. Onboard, 24 youth from across Australia make up the youth crew for each voyage. Over the 10-day program, participants learn all the skills required to sail the square-rigged tall ship. These activities include keeping watch on deck, handling lines, taking the helm, navigation using the ship's charts, assisting the chef in the galley and climbing the 30-metre mast to set and furl sails. No previous sailing experience is required.
The program is delivered by the professional Royal Australian Navy staff crew who ensure that the highest standards of safety are maintained. During the voyage the staff crew encourage youth to pursue personal and team goals and challenges. By the end of each voyage, the youth crew have developed the skills, knowledge and confidence to elect a leadership team to take command of the ship over a 24-hour period.
Applications can be made online at www.youngendeavour.gov.au/apply-now
Voyage fees and conditions will apply to successful applicants. A limited number of financially assisted berths are available for eligible youth. Potential applicants should apply now for the best chance of being selected for a voyage.
