WHAT IT IS

Over the years, we've watched thousands of students step onto a plane, explore new cities, build lifelong friendships and discover strengths they never knew they had. ​At Travel Gang, we believe our responsibility to young people doesn't end when they arrive home. For many participants, a Travel Gang tour was a defining chapter in their story.

 

Designed exclusively for past Travel Gang students aged 21 and over, the Travel Gang Traineeship provides an opportunity for alumni to return as part of the team, learning alongside experienced tour guides while helping the next generation of students experience the same life-changing adventures.

​

Now we’re asking: have you ever wanted to be a tour guide?... Not a regular guide. A Travel Gang Guide?!

Being a Travel Gang Trainee Tour Guide is not a 9-to-5 job. It's not a backstage pass to free travel. It is being on, all day – with a smile, even when you're tired. We move fast. Things go wrong. Students get homesick. Flights get delayed. And through all of it, you are the person who says: "We've got this." You don't need to be perfect. You need to be present, positive, and professional.
