This is more than a job; it’s a chance to grow personally and professionally while making an impact!

The Internship is an immersive seasonal position that offers on-the-job training  for the logistics, community, and student facing aspects of our organization. This program serves as an on-ramp for people interested in becoming an instructor but without significant experience in the field. Depending on skill level, experience, scheduling, and availability, some interns will be promoted to instructor the same season.  Most will complete the internship and will be eligible for re-hire as a field instructor the following season.  Internships begin with a 2-day base camp orientation and introduction to the intern crew. This is followed by an 8-day wilderness expedition training, where you will see how VOBS runs our programs from the student perspective. After completion of the wilderness portion of training, interns will return to base for another 7+ days of training in a variety of areas, including driver training, student management skills, technical skills, further orientation into how VOBS operates, and other training as needed. Interns arrive in May or June and stay through August.
