Staff Expectations

Our professional staff need to be the embodiment of the GoBeyond mission, philosophy, policies and procedures. We place high expectations on our summer staff, thus applicants should consider all of the following before applying.

Our staff must be enthusiastic and young enough at heart – as well as physically, mentally and in all ways able – to work with teenagers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in an environment that is highly active and adventurous, is physically and mentally demanding and lacks personal privacy, space and time off.
Risk management comes first in everything we do at GoBeyond. Staff are expected to create a fun, educational environment for our students that limits the possibility of loss or injury due to the inherent risks of our activities.
As international travel, community service and work with teenagers is in many ways unpredictable, staff need to be able to think on their feet and be flexible enough to handle change and associated challenges.
Although English does not need to be a first language, staff are expected to be fluent.
Staff need to maintain professional conduct and present a professional appearance at all times. Staff must be available for work through the duration of the journey(s). When applicable, staff are required to attend GoBeyond Staff Training, usually held several days before the beginning of our summer.
All staff are required to be trained in First Aid and CPR. Special consideration is given to applicants with advanced medical training such as Wilderness First Responder or EMT. In some situations, GoBeyond will pay for a highly qualified candidate to become certified upon hire.
We are a strict tobacco, alcohol and drug-free program for our students. As our staff are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and are models of the behavior we expect from our students, our staff must be abl
