Volunteer Program 

 

Torsk has a very active volunteer group. We have several regular volunteers, who can usually be found aboard just about every weekend. We also have Torsk Work Weekends where volunteers come in from all over the country to work aboard. These are held in the spring and fall. See the links below for pictures.

If you are interested in becoming a Torsk volunteer, contact us at volunteer@usstorsk.org for more information. We have many projects currently in progress aboard including general cleaning, chipping and painting, and equipment restoration. We also have an active radio club aboard that works out of Torsk's original radio room.  You can work as little or as much as you like – it’s up to you!!
