TONIGHT/THURSDAY Overland Info Session: February 20th 7:00 PM - 8:00PM at the Overland Office - 10 Walden St, 3rd floor

This summer, join the dynamic, accomplished and charismatic group of Overland leaders who help kids see the world and all of its beauty and promise. Overland hires exceptional college students and recent graduates to lead summer programs across the country and around the world. Our staff of over 200 leaders and support staff spend ten days training and six weeks leading or supporting programs throughout the summer. Small groups, carefully crafted programs and inspiring leadership have been at the heart of what we do for the past 35 years. Come learn about hiking, biking, service, writing, language and field studies programs with Overland. Leaders describe Overland as the most challenging and satisfying leadership and work experience they have ever had.

Join us for an info session at 7:00 PM to learn more about how this could be a great leadership opportunity for you this summer. If you are interested in setting up a preliminary interview, click here. We would love to meet you! Reach out to Maddie Taylor ([log in to unmask]) with any questions.
