This membership recognises and rewards those who actively help keep SVSP sailing for the benefit of the wider veteran community. We ask members to respect the intent of this pathway by continuing to support the organisation through active volunteering.
💛⚓️💙
All participation pathways provide access to SVSP community sailing activities.
The key distinction is that Volunteer Crew recognises active volunteering through a fully funded pathway, while Salty Supporter reflects a small financial contribution toward sustaining the community and programs Salty Vets enjoy. Both pathways enable eligibility for additional development opportunities and scholarships.
This approach helps ensure these opportunities remain sustainable, accessible and fairly distributed across the community.
