Student Stories & Mentors

Every gift matters—big or small—and helps power life-changing global education experiences for students at sea.

After making your gift, share your personal giving link to inspire friends and family to join you. Ambassadors who raise the most will win Semester at Sea merch and fun prizes, but most importantly, you’ll help more students set sail on journeys that will transform their lives.
