Expand horizons on the Young
Endeavour
A voyage on
the tall ship, Young Endeavour, as a member of a youth crew is a unique
challenge. Onboard young people participate in an innovative youth
development program designed to develop teamwork, communication and leadership
skills and inspire a sense of community responsibility.
Youth crew learn how to sail the modern sailing
ship; they climb the mast, take the helm, keep watch, navigate and help out in
the galley.
Over 20
voyages are conducted each year exploring the Australian coastline by the Young
Endeavour Youth Scheme, a not-for-profit organisation in partnership with the
Royal Australian Navy. Young Endeavour Youth
Scheme was recently awarded the International Sail Training Organisation of the
Year.
A study by
the University of Sydney demonstrated that the Young Endeavour Youth Scheme
increases social skills, trust in others and the ability to bridge
differences. The study confirmed that the experience has an enduring
impact on social skills, self control, goal achievement and self
confidence.
It is also
an adventure. Imagine sailing the Young Endeavour with 23 other young
people into Sydney Harbour on Australia Day, migrating north with the
whales to Cairns or conquering Bass Strait on the way to
Hobart.
Your organisation can create a scholarship and
secure a berth for a young person of your choice.
Get onboard
with an inspirational line-up of organisations such as youth
agencies, rotary clubs, schools and sporting clubs who are sharing the
adventure of a lifetime by creating a scholarship berth.
Or
encourage a young person, aged 16-23, to apply now for a
berth.
Youth crew
are selected through a ballot held twice a year. Applications for the
second ballot (for voyages in the second half of 2008) can be made by visiting
www.youngendeavour.gov.au or
calling 1800 020 444.
But hurry,
they need to be entered by 29 February 2008 to be in with a
chance!
