Is your next adventure volunteering on board?
The need is immense, but passionate people like you are making a life-transforming difference.
Mercy Ships are floating health care communities where tradies, IT specialists, caterers, mariners, janitors, teachers and many others all play a vital volunteer role.

Urgent needs
Volunteer to make a lasting difference
With you, our ships become hospitals. The crews of Global Mercy and Africa Mercy efficiently bring safe, sterile operating theatres directly to people in need, so our volunteer medical staff can provide free essential surgeries.
Our volunteers build medical capacity in every port we reach; providing additional training for local medics and opening medical facilities so that improved health care continues in our wake.
