SEASTAR is a Nova Scotia based, non-profit charitable Society committed to the advancement of young people through the development of life skills and experience aboard tall ships. The Society is committed to fostering inclusiveness and diversity in its activities and participants and makes a special effort to reach out to youth at risk, disadvantaged youth and youth from varied social, economic, ethnic and ability backgrounds. 

The Society reflects the importance of the sea-faring tradition in the province of Nova Scotia and in Atlantic Canada and respects the important contribution made to the development of that tradition through organizations such as the Nova Scotia Sea School, The Royal Canadian Sea Cadets, the Canadian Navy, yacht clubs and the NSYA.

 

 

 

As the Tall Ships return to Nova Scotia for the Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge 2009 there are opportunities available for placement among these vessels. The trips include a 25-day voyage from Halifax to Belfast with the possibility of shorter voyages of one week from Boston to Halifax, or Bermuda to Halifax.
