Young Person’s Journey

Grow confidence, develop skills, get qualifications and thrive as you transition into adulthood on our three-voyage programme.

Changing Young lives at Sea

All our voyages set sail towards brighter futures for young people and their communities in the UK.

“For the first time in my life, I felt like I actually belonged somewhere, doing something I love, where I felt respected and cared for”

Each young person’s journey is unique. Some are working towards a career in maritime, while others are still exploring their future, using their time with TSYT to set goals, realise their potential and develop essential life skills.
