The Philadelphia Ship Preservation Guild maintains and sails historic ships to bring the past to the present. We are a non-profit organization that teaches and practices seamanship, traditional restoration, maritime culture, and sailing skills in a fun and team focused setting. The Guild currently owns and maintains two vessels located on Philadelphia’s Delaware River waterfront: the historic Portuguese fishing barkentine Gazela Primeiro, and the covered lighter barge Popler. Though not owned by the Guild, the tugboat Jupiter, built in Philadelphia in 1902, is maintained and operated by the Guild as well.
The Guild is looking for community-focused individuals who are interested in helping the organization meet its strategic fundraising goals as volunteer members of the Development Committee. The Guild is seeking individuals who have knowledge in business, communications, social media, not-for-profit fundraising, grant writing and/or community development. Your experience and skills will contribute to creating new strategies that will generate opportunities to increase the Guild’s fundraising revenues.
Individuals should have a working knowledge of the charitable sector and experience in fundraising. Other attributes include the ability to work and communicate effectively as a part of the development team. You will have the willingness to commit the necessary time to participate in committee meetings and fundraising activities. The committee meets monthly and ad-hoc as necessary.

Mission Statement
The Ship Guild's mission is to preserve, share and operate our historic vessels. Our mission is enhanced by programs which bring lessons of seamanship, traditional sailing and maritime culture to the public. Our volunteers are people of all ages, backgrounds and skills who share a love of historic vessels and maritime history.
Description
The Ship Guild operates and maintains the tall ship Gazela and the historic tugboat, Jupiter, both home-ported in Philadelphia and docked at Penn's Landing at Market Street. The Ship Guild is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Volunteers with the Guild share a strong commitment to preserving Philadelphia's maritime tradition. The ships rely on the contributions of time and effort from our volunteers to stay afloat.
There are many opportunities to become part of this effort whether your interests are woodworking and rigging, engineering, historical research, sailing, or marketing and presentations. As a volunteer you become part of a crew. You will work alongside the professional officers doing as they do. One minute you may find yourself manning the helm, later painting decks. Our crew earns hours toward sailing by volunteering time towards restoration, outreach, or dockside maintenance programs.
Whether you share your daily skills, or learn new ones, you will find a niche in this diverse organization.
All volunteers are asked to join the Ship Guild.
