WANTED! TRAVEL GANG TRAINEES

​

Remember the first time you stepped off that bus? New city. New stage. New friends who felt like family.

You weren’t just a student on a Travel Gang trip. You were part of something bigger.

​

Now we’re asking: have you ever wanted to be a tour guide?

Not a regular guide. A Travel Gang Guide. 

​

We are seeking past students from our Travel Gang adventures to apply for our Travel Gang Traineeship Class of 2027. 

This isn’t an internship (we don’t love that word). This is a traineeship for alumni who are ready to inspire the next generation.

​

Submissions close 03/07/2026.

​

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.

​

Core Responsibilities

​

• Being on, all day – awake and available from morning to curfew

• Polite & customer service skills – patience and respect, always

• Problem solver – solutions, not complaints

• Caring for students – notice the quiet ones, support the struggling ones

• Navigation skills – maps, directions, keeping the group together

• Leadership skills – step up before you're asked

• Sees adventure on hard days – turn chaos into fun

​

What You Will NOT Be Asked To Do

​

• Manage serious medical or mental health emergencies alone (senior guide handles this)

• Drive a vehicle (we use professional drivers)

• Handle large budgets or financial transactions

• Work without support (you are a trainee – your senior guide is always there)

• Share a room with students (trainees share with other staff only)

The flight is leaving. We hope you’re on it.
