What is a Volunteer? Volunteers are the life of the Seafarers' Center. Our volunteers and staff provide a warm atmosphere and become a seafarer's family when in our port. The seafarers enjoy our houses and the atmosphere offered here. We are often referred to as their Home away from Home.

What do you do as a volunteer?

• Volunteers operate two Seafarers' Centers, the main center on Newcastle Street and a satellite center on Colonel's Island.
  
• Volunteers provide assistance in making international phone calls, posting letters, and obtaining personal supplies.
  
• Volunteers drive Center vans to get seafarers to doctors, dentists, airports, and shopping.
  
• Volunteers go aboard ships to greet crews, share our services, and assess needs.
