YMTA Maritime Volunteers
The success of YMTA and the realization of our goals of bringing the maritime world to the classroom and exposing students to a variety of maritime careers depends
completely on volunteers. Reading about a marine biologist is much
different than actually talking with a marine biologist. Reading about
operating a tugboat is a far cry from spending time aboard a tugboat and
interacting with the crew. Making a decision on a career path for a student
becomes much easier when a volunteer visits the classroom and tells the good,
bad and ugly about their job.
For those of you in the maritime industry that have enjoyed a
rewarding and fulfilling career, we ask you consider volunteering your time as a
way of giving back. Your tenure and insight about your chosen career
provides students with a "real world", "hands on" experience
not offered in books or the classroom.
A multitude of opportunities are available for individuals and
organizations willing to help YMTA bring the sea to the classroom for students
in Washington State. We ask you to take a moment and sign up as a
volunteer. It's a rewarding experience!

Mercer Island |
Ken spent his 35-year working career in the maritime industry, first at
sea, then working ashore for a steamship line and later at a stevedoring
company. He retired in 2004 as the Executive Vice President for General
Stevedoring at Marine Terminals Corporation.
Ken is now acting as the Northwest Representative for his alma mater, The
California Maritime Academy. In that role, I represent the school in
new student recruiting, alumni activities and general industry
involvement in the Northwest.
Clearly, his expertise lies in the maritime industry. If you feel that
his background could be of value to one of your presentations, please
feel free to contact Ken.
