Logistics Coordinators: The logistics staff provides an infrastructure that ensures instructors and students have the equipment and food needed for daily course functions. A successful Logistics Coordinator collaborates well with course staff to make sure the students know how to maintain and care for gear they are given. Additionally they schedule vehicles for each course; drive to and from all course events with additional gear and food. It is critical that Logistics Coordinators are organized, collaborative, willing to work hard, and dedicated to delivering the Outward Bound mission.
Interns: The intern program is designed to provide a greater understanding of Outward Bound philosophy and methods; they are paid a living stipend. We provide opportunities for interns to develop technical, group facilitation, teaching and organizational skills over the course of a summer. Internships vary in length and design depending on individual assessment and program needs. Some interns are promoted to an Instructor position the first summer while others may need to focus more time on an identified area of development.
