There are many other ways you can help DC Sail and the National Maritime Heritage Foundation.
Put up a DC Sail Flier!
Outreach DC Sail and KSS need all the free press we can get. If you are a writer or know people in the journalism field we need articles put into local papers, radio and TV. We’ve already had some coverage and need to continue our media presence.
Advertising We run an advertising campaign from March through October, most of the groundwork has been done but you should have some PR, design, advertising or marketing experience. Our advertising is pretty low budget but creativity has gotten us pretty far!
Fundraiser / Membership Membership numbers are the backbone of any community organization. We need to keep the members who are signed up, and increase our membership at the same time. You will be involved in contacting members to ask them to renew as well as starting membership campaigns to bring in some fresh blood. The fundraisers will coordinate with the membership volunteers to host events and come up with cost efficient methods of fundraising for DC Sail and KSS.
Maintenance/Work Days Boats always need work. We have volunteer days on the weekends about once a month. Send us an email if you're interested, and we'll get in touch when the time comes. Tools and supplies provided, time and skill is what we need. If you want to learn about boat repair that's great too. If you're willing to help out, we're willing to teach you.
Dock Coordinators DC Sail is organizing itself to be self-managing. We need volunteers to keep the doors open and check that people have paid, been checked off on basic skills, and volunteer instructors have signed up and shown up.
