Young Endeavour Youth Scheme: Explore the Aussie Coast

Open to 16- to 23-year-olds. The Young Endeavour Youth Scheme is pleased to announce that applications for youth development voyages in STS Young Endeavour from January to June 2023 are open online now. Alternately, apply directly, by sending an email or call 1800 020 444 for further information.

Each voyage in Young Endeavour is a unique and challenging experience. The immersive nature of the program encourages participants to rapidly develop interpersonal, leadership and teamwork skills which are readily transferable into adult life. Twenty-four young people from across Australia make up the youth crew and learn how to sail a tall ship. They learn how to keep watch on deck, to handle lines, take the helm, navigate using the ship's electronic charts, assist the chef in the galley and climb the 30-metre mast to set and furl sails. No sailing experience is required, only a willingness to give everything a try. Voyage fees and conditions will apply to successful applicants. A limited number of financially assisted berths are available for eligible youth.
