Our Youth Volunteer program allows 16-18 year old high school students to experience life on the river, and to develop a lifelong connection to the Clearwater and to nature. Each year we get students onboard for 1-3 weeks, who train in our education program, and work alongside crewmembers to maintain our shipboard community and programming.

Youth Volunteers must have full permission from parents and guardians, and sign a conduct contract.
