On 6-7 November we ran one of our Induction Weekends on Alba Venturer, introducing new volunteers to what’s involved in delivering youth work on the waves and what to expect as a member of sea staff.

We’re excited to announce that OYT Scotland will be taking part in several legs of the 2023 Tall Ships Races.

Alba Explorer will leave from Oban on 26th June, sailing via Hartlepool, Fredrickstad
The sea staff team and volunteers have been hard at work getting Alba Explorer prepared for her five year refit.

This week we had a brilliant time back doing what we love, this time with the inspiring young people from the GK experience. We are buzzing to have them all on board again for voyage 2 in September. The voyages form part of the Scottish Government’s CashBack for Communities programme, which aims to identify and work with young people most at risk of being affected by crime.
Today [Wednesday 28 July 2021] was a momentous day for the Trust as we finally saw Alba Venturer back out on the water with young people doing what we do best.
