Update from the Tall Ships Youth Trust
Our “life-changing” youth voyages are back!
MORE than 400 young people have benefitted from a residential voyage with Tall Ships Youth Trust since early June when government-imposed Covid-19 restrictions were first eased.
“It’s such a fantastic experience and rare excursion that more young people must experience a Tall Ships Youth Trust voyage at least once! It’s true what you say, if used well, the experience is life-changing.” Sophie Jagne, youth worker with Hackney Quest, a London-based youth organisation. Sophie and a group of 10 young people joined us on a voyage earlier this month.
What some of the young people had to say:
“I had a rocky start but a confident finish.” “I’ve learnt how to quickly move on from mistakes and to let go rather than dwell on things.”
“A great adventure with awesome crewmates and brilliant Tall Ships Youth Trust staff!”
“I learnt new skills in communication, teamwork, cleaning and navigation.”
“It’s hard work but fun and it puts you out of your comfort zone.”
