ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION:
The nonprofit Gundalow Company’s mission is to protect the Piscataqua region’s maritime heritage and environment through education and action. To fulfill our mission, we use a recently built, traditional, wooden gundalow as our floating/sailing classroom for school groups, River Rats Camp, Public sails and private charters.
The Gundalow Company is committed to working in partnership with those who have been historically and are currently excluded from access to and stewardship of the local waterways. Just as the Piscataqua River is strengthened by every stream, river, and creek that flows to it, our community is strengthened by individuals from a diversity of experiences, identities, cultures, heritages, perspectives, and values, who historically and currently use, access, and enjoy the resources of the Piscataqua Watershed.
While the Gundalow sails May through October, this position is year-round including off-season fundraiser events, planning and non-sailing events.
Part time, 20-25 hours per week. Ideal candidates would be available on some weekend days from June-Sept to assist ticket sales staff for boarding.
