Do you dream of broadening your horizons through polishing your language skills while traveling around the world?
Every year, Peace Boat recruits volunteer interpreters for our global voyages.

Since our beginning in 1983, we have had hundreds of volunteers joining our voyages. From university students to people working in big companies or who just finished raising children. Being of various nationalities and speaking different languages, our volunteers make up a diverse group of people which makes volunteering with Peace Boat a unique experience.
