 Through
experiential community service projects and teaching
internships designed by Global
Routes, North
American high school, gap year and college students broaden
their sense of themselves and the world around them by
living and working with people in small, rural communities
in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. Community
development, adventure travel and rural homestays are at the
heart of these immersion experiences. Global Routes is
currently hiring international
leaders for its
2010 summer high school programs. Program leaders co-lead a
group of up to 18 high school students on 3, 4 and 5-week
programs. Key responsibilities include overseeing in-country
travel, food, lodging and activities; managing homestays,
service projects and budgets; working with local staff,
guides and organizations; and facilitating the growth,
development and safety of program participants. In addition
to a weekly salary, all living expenses and destination
round-trip travel are covered. Applicants must be at least
24 for high school programs, have extensive experience
working with students and travel experience in the region
where they wish to lead. Spanish language proficiency is
necessary for destinations in Latin America. Staff training
begins in late June.

 Hike
the Spanish Pyrenees, ice climb Alaskan glaciers or sea
kayak the Puget Sound—all while helping fantastic
groups of teenagers become better leaders, communicators and
young adults. Wilderness
Ventures runs
summer programs that focus on multi-activity backcountry
travel. Students (13 to 20) are able to develop leadership,
communication and teambuilding skills while experiencing our
natural world. Doubling as teacher, facilitator, and mentor,
trip
leaders introduce
small groups to the merits of living simply while
participating in backpacking, climbing, canoeing, rafting,
biking, mountaineering, kayaking, sailing and service
project expeditions in beautiful places across the U.S., and
as far away as Australia, Belize, Costa Rica, Ecuador,
Europe, Fiji, the Galapagos Islands, New Zealand, Peru and
Tahiti. Responsibilities include teaching outdoor skills,
minimum-impact camping, environmental awareness, outdoor
education, and natural and cultural history. Applicants
should have experience and an interest in the outdoors, but
it is even more important to value working with teenagers.
If your goal is to climb the Grand Teton, this is not the
job for you. Your goal should be helping teenagers get up
the Grand Teton, and helping them to learn about themselves
and others at the same time. All applicants must be at least
21 and have valid CPR and Wilderness First Responder (WFR)
certifications. A nice wage and all trip expenses are
provided. Applications
can be downloaded online.
