Here are just some of the courses on offer for both adult and cadet volunteers 👀

Here are Q2 courses at WNBC! The centre is packed this summer with District and Area bookings! So we've focused on delivering higher level courses to help Cadets and Adult volunteers along the instructor pathways.

We look forwards to seeing you on the water!

Think outside the box
Whatever your experience and skills, they could be utilised to help young people flourish – photography, marketing, football coaching, IT, social media, finance, driving. The sky's the limit, so why not contact your local unit for an informal chat on how you can help them to keep the doors open.

Ready to join?
Get in contact to find out how you can make a difference.

We need people who are happy to roll up their sleeves, get involved, and make a positive difference to teenagers who are often struggling in today’s world and their communities.

Gain excellent nationally recognised training qualifications along the way!

We have a range of different roles to choose from:

Watersports instructor
Share your love of being out on the water with the next generation, through the opportunity to teach watersports such as kayaking, sailing, powerboating, canoeing, rowing and windsurfing. Don't worry if you don't have prior experience, with us you can gain national qualifications with the RYA and BCU to teach, all you need is lots of enthusiasm!

Unit management team
If you aren't able to commit to a regular volunteering role, there's still plenty of ways you can get involved and make an impact – no commitment is too small and a role on a unit's Management Team could be a perfect fit. You could volunteer in roles such as Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary or Fundraising. These roles are perfect if you're not able to be at your local Sea Cadets unit every week, or if you have a specialist skill you'd like to share.

Unit instructor
Whether you opt to be a uniformed leader, or wear your own clothes, you can be hands-on, teaching cadets at your local unit. You'll run lessons, activities, games, projects and events that help cadets progress through The Sea Cadets Experience, gaining qualifications and confidence as they go. A role at a unit is ideal if you can support local young people on a regular basis, are happy to throw yourself into teaching activities and seek a rewarding role where you'll be the key to helping young people flourish into confident, capable young adults.

Let’s make a difference together! 🌟🙌

Volunteer with Us!

At the heart of everything we do lies the well-being and safe development of young people. Our journey began in 1856 when returning sailors from the Crimean War were shocked by the living conditions faced by many young individuals. The Sea Cadets emerged with a mission: to leverage their maritime expertise, gained through naval careers, and the disciplined structures of the Royal Navy to create a nurturing environment for young people. This environment fosters growth, lasting friendships, and personal development, regardless of diverse backgrounds.

Today, our commitment remains unwavering. While many of our volunteers have no direct ties to the sea, we share a common purpose: to empower young people from all walks of life. Our focus is on their personal, social, and educational development, ensuring they have the best possible start in life. This person-centred ethos drives every aspect of our work.

Cardiff Sea Cadets at HMS Cambria offers an exciting array of opportunities for individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you’re interested in sailing, yachting, summer camps, first aid, or pursuing qualifications like the Duke of Edinburgh Award or a BTEC, we’ve got something for you!
