Offering to crew is a great time to get out on the water but reading/formal instruction are also very helpful, particularly if you're starting with basically 0 knowledge.

You should still consider taking basic keelboat (ASA 101) as well as picking up a few books and read, read, read. That way you'll be knowledgeable about the terms of a sailboat and how the general theory works. It'll also make it easier for you to get on crew.
