Get involved in Cruise Ship Ministry
Here’s your chance to make a difference! Join us for a day at the Seafarer’s Center in Boston and help run the operations that serve seafarers from all over the world. Accessible by T or with free parking. The Fall season is especially busy with a fleet of ships on most weekdays and weekends.
- Retired and looking for ways to help? We are accessible by T (Senior Citizens can get discounted T tickets. Skip the traffic!)
- College student with a no class or light schedule days? Some days are light enough we just need help staffing a spot. Bring your device/books and study between seafarers.
- In Boston already? We can use help during your lunch hour (or hour and a half!?)
- Self-Employed/Work from home? Make the Mission your remote workplace. We have great internet. Set up shop with us.
- Working for a company with Paid Volunteer Time benefits? We can provide you with a non-profit location to fulfill those opportunities.
What will we ask you to do?
- We operate a small but very busy crew market. Volunteers will help to price items, stock the shelves, and run the cash registers.
- We let crew use our address to drop ship packages. Volunteers can help us process parcels in and then sign them out to seafarers for pick up.
- We offer FREE coffee, so we need to keep our hospitality station neat and well stocked.
- Volunteers who can commit to repeat visits can help us process money transfers for the crew so they can send their money home.
- Typically, we start our day at 8:30 AM and go until mid-afternoon. See our schedule for more date specific times.
- Dress very comfortably and bring a bagged lunch. We provide free drinks and chips.
