Commitment

The Boat Team is a close-knit and welcoming group of activists from all over the UK. Joining us is a serious commitment. Members are expected to:

Attend regular trainings

We hold eight trainings a year, and members must attend at least 80% of these.

Be available for actions

These often happen midweek, but you’ll get plenty of notice.

Support Greenpeace's values and methods

That includes non-violent direct action, which carries a risk of arrest.
