Be apart of the Living Abroad Experience. Group Leaders needed immediately!
|
Posted By: Hija Chang on December 11, 2017 The Experiment in International Living is currently hiring exceptional professional individuals to serve as Group Leaders to guide our summer 2018 programs in over 26 countries worldwide! The Experiment, the founding program of World Learning, has been sending students on immersive abroad programs since 1932, and we continue to be on the cutting edge of international education. Our programs provide high school students with the opportunity to connect deeply and engage meaningfully with the richness and complexities of another country through hands-on experiences in local communities and through the lens of a specific program theme. Each program has two adult co-leaders who work together to guide a group of 10 to 15 high school students on a journey between 2 and 6 weeks. Our Leaders are our most critical on-the-ground resource, traveling alongside the group and serving as the students’ primary support throughout the program. Leaders take on a wide range of responsibilities, including helping students integrate into local cultures and host families, conducting group excursions, and guiding students through discussions of and reflections on their experiences. Leaders work closely with The Experiment’s US-based staff and in-country partners to maximize students’ health and safety and to ensure the program is meaningful, challenging, and experientially rich. ---Ongoing Support from Program Start to Finish--- Experimenters are met by their two group leaders at a specific meeting location in the designated departure airport in the US. Group leaders immediately start engaging students in conversations and ice-breaker activities. Right away - and continuing throughout the in-country orientation - leaders work with Experimenters to increase their knowledge of the host country and culture, develop communication skills, and cultivate new attitudes and awareness. During the course of the program, leaders keep in close contact with homestay families, conduct group excursions, and guide students through discussions of and reflections on their experiences. At the end of the program, leaders help students synthesize their experiences and assist them in considering how they can integrate what they learned about themselves and the world into their lives moving forward. --Commitment to Diversity— The Experiment is committed to recruiting and supporting students of diverse backgrounds, and thus The Experiment is equally committed to hiring Group Leaders who represent diverse geographic, ethnic, religious, and economic backgrounds. ---Benefits--- Leaders benefit from an intensive weeklong professional development training, the chance to experience a familiar culture from a new perspective, and an opportunity to use your language skills and expand your professional network. The Experiment covers leaders’ program-related travel expenses, including domestic travel to the Leader Training Week in Vermont and then home after the program; meals and lodging during the Leader Training Week; international flights to and from the program country; and transportation, lodging, meals, emergency travel medical insurance, communication, and incidentals while on the program. In addition, leaders receive a stipend based on program length. Learn more about The Experiment’s mission, history, and programs at http://www.experiment.org.
