Alumni Resources

Welcome to the Mercy Ships Alumni Community. Once a Mercy Shipper, always a Mercy Shipper.

Because of your time on board and your heart to serve, lives were transformed and hope was restored. Thank you! You are part of the Mercy Ships family, and we want to stay connected with you and support you.

Returning Well

After serving on board, transitioning back home can be difficult. Your life as well has probably been changed. Our Debrief Guide was created to help you adjust as you settle back in. We also have a list of vetted debrief providers to help you process your time on board.

Staying Informed

Alumni receive monthly newsletters with Mercy Ships updates and inspirational patient stories. You will also be invited to join the monthly Global Gathering calls.

Crew & Alumni Facebook Group

Our private (closed) group is for crew who lived and served on board. Current crew and Alumni can connect with each other and hear updates from the organization. If you haven’t already, join here.

Only crew who have lived and served on board a Mercy Ships vessel may join this group. All others are invited to follow us here.
