Pros

- Feedback culture is strong here! Positive and constructive feedback is encouraged and asked for at every level. The company is always trying to better itself and always pushing their staff to grow and learn to be the best versions of themselves while always giving grace to individuals and situations. - Amazing trips with exciting activities that you get to enjoy yourselves. - Lots of opportunities to create your own magic on trips with the kids. You can really infuse your own style into things. - Great office environment, very collaborative and fun! - If you're looking for a place to hone your communication skills, trailer backing skills, group management skills, and so much more, this is an amazing place to do so! - People first management style. The office is always more focused on you as a person from staff, to students, to parents, etc. than they are with money, numbers, etc. - Ownership actively reinvests in the company in tangible ways, staff wages, travel stipends, new gear, etc. Things that directly make working at Bold Earth better.

Cons

- Summers can be hard and grueling. You will often have little sleep and little down time between trips. Be prepared for this as it is what most leaders struggle while during the summer. - You need to want to work with kids. This isn't a con if working with kids is something you enjoy, in fact it is a huge pro! But it does come with its own challenges, and you should be prepared for them. We have great students, but behavioral things will always come up.

Pros

I have worked as both a trip leader and a director for Bold Earth. I have never experienced such a high level and quality of support from the leadership team and the community. If you are looking for a place to make deep, life-long connections with brilliant, compassionate, and powerful leaders, Bold Earth is the place for you. Not only is our leader community the best (in my opinion) but our students are also incredible! We have the opportunity to work with amazing people from all over the world and share an impact that can stick with kids for many many years to come. I firmly believe I will never have supervision and mentorship as empathetic and empowered as I do at Bold Earth. I 1,000,000/10 recommend Bold Earth to anyone who wants to grow as a person, connect with others, and experience beautiful places and people.

Cons

This job is very demanding and not for everyone! You work long days and don't have much time to decompress alone. The transition times between trips can be tough, but if you stay organized you will get everything done and have some time to rest too.

Pros

- As a trip leader, I got to spend my summers traveling in the South Pacific, Central America, Europe, and the western USA with a great group of teens and co-guides - Getting paid to travel and do all the activities (rafting, scuba diving, trekking, zip lining, taking Spanish classes, etc.) - Upward mobility; our trip leaders are often top candidates for director and leadership positions - Supportive, people-first environment - Super fun and informative paid staff training in Colorado - Care about the families we travel with; BE stresses personal connections with families and not just numbers - Working on DEI initiatives (the outdoor ed industry in general isn't great at DEI and it's good to see effort being put into this)

Cons

- Job requires flexibility for trip placement so you can't pick what specific trip you want to lead
