What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
The Seamen's Houses programs include physical support by providing free second hand clothing, books and magazines, emotional support through the use of an International Phone Bank with discounted rates, International mail service, separation, grief and marriage counseling. Spiritual support is provided by Christian Chaplains accepting people of all faith groups offering compassion, love and support with free Bibles, and other religious materials in over 60 languages. Church services are also available onboard ships or in our two centers.
Christmas at Sea
Throughout the year, the International Seafarers' Center collects donations of ditty bags & shoeboxes filled with small gifts, snacks, toiletries, and clothing. From Thanksgiving until Epiphany, every seafarer who comes through the Port of Brunswick recieves one of these Christmas Gifts. Sometimes, these small packages are all a seafarer will have to open on Christmas Morning.
Port-as-Classroom
The International Seafarers' Center has partnered with local schools to bring the educational opportunities within the port to local students. By exposing students to the international, economic, and trade activity going on in their own community, we hope to expand their horizons and open up the world to them.
ISC Nursing Program
Through our wonderful volunteer nurses, the International Seafarers' Center offers free health screenings to seafarers and other port workers. Partnering with Southeast Georgia Health System we operate a small infirmary on Colonel's Island. We also partner with the College of Coastal Georgia and have student nurses who come to the centers and offer free health screenings.
