OVERLAND CAREERS

Responsibilities include generating over 2,500 applications for each summer’s trips, traveling across the country to make presentations, working with parents over the phone and via email, and overseeing our financial aid program, Open Arms. As with every position at Overland, members of the admissions and financial aid team will have additional responsibilities that will include assisting with leader recruitment and other tasks.

Responsibilities include recruiting, evaluating, and hiring summer trip leaders from colleges and universities across the country. The leader hiring staff works with our current and former leaders to fill approximately 100 spots for each summer’s staff of trip leaders and then generates over 1,000 applications each year for the remaining approximately 100 spots for new leaders. As with every position at Overland, leader hiring staff will have additional responsibilities that will include assisting with student recruitment and can include other tasks (e.g., trip planning and/or managing equipment).

Responsibilities include managing a group of trips throughout the year, starting with a September review of the previous summer’s experience and progressing through revisions in the fall (which can include travel to scout locations), reservations in the winter, and dialing in the details in the spring. When our summer season begins, trip planners manage their trips from our headquarters, working with leaders in the field to ensure the smooth operation of their trips. As with every position on the Overland staff, trip planners will have additional responsibilities that will include assisting with leader and student recruitment, managing equipment, and other tasks.
