Seasonal Maritime Educators

We have three seasonal opportunities! 

• Seasonal Captain: This position is perfect for those passionate about maritime education and adventure. As Captain, you’ll engage with participants of all ages—from elementary students to adult learners—throughout multiple seasons. In spring and fall, you’ll lead school programs focused on maritime skills and team-building, both on land and water. During summer, you’ll teach adult sailing classes on keelboats, enjoying the best sailing weather of the year. The Captain will also help with youth camps, taking students out on various vessels.
• Seasonal Program Coordinator: If you thrive on organization and maritime adventures, this role is for you. As Program Coordinator, you’ll be the logistical backbone for youth maritime programs at Northwest Maritime (NWM) and aboard NWM vessels. You’ll assist in training seasonal staff, facilitate communications, support program decisions, and ensure a safe, positive experience for participants. Every day will bring a mix of administrative and hands-on responsibilities, ensuring smooth, dynamic programming.
• Youth Programs Educator: As a Youth Programs Educator, you'll be inspiring students aged 5 to 17 in maritime experiences and team-building activities - because the sea is the most powerful teacher we know. In the spring and fall, you'll be honing your science inquiry skills while sailing and unleashing your leadership skills for ashore and afloat programs. Come summer, you’ll be messing about in boats with kids, stirring up wonder and curiosity. Forget about the mundane – this is your ticket to a summer of sea-soaked, sun-fueled fun!
