Office Hours - Outward Bound. Get paid to be outside.

Zoom. Nov 18th, 4 pm PT/5 pm MT

When you think “outdoor industry” you might think everyone is out backpacking, rafting, sailing, climbing, kayaking or mountaineering all day.

That’s usually not the case. Unless you work at Outward Bound.😏

Outward Bound locations across the US needs outdoor enthusiasts to teach wilderness skills to youth and adults. If you can remember back to when you first started, and what you wish you knew back then, you’ll probably be rad at this job. Oh, and housing is included! (It’s rustic, but that shouldn’t turn off anyone who’s right for this role).

This position is SEASONAL, and the exact timeline depends on the location you choose. They are currently hiring for the spring 2022 season, so anytime from March-May through September…ish.

Not sure this is for you? If you’ve got the itch…it probably is. But we’re chatting with Jess and Kristen to learn more about the gig and answer any questions you have.

Open positions are listed below the registration form, since housing is included, you can let the activity you want to do all day guide the positions you apply for.
