  • Able to work legally in the U.S.; meaning you are either a U.S. citizen or possess a working Visa or Green Card (Carpe Diem can not hire individuals who are not eligible to work in the U.S., nor are we able to assist in obtaining work visas at this time)
  • Proficiency in Spanish for our Central and South America semesters
  • While Italian or Greek, Hindi, and Thai proficiency are not required for our Italy & Greece, India, or Southeast Asia semesters, priority is given to applicants with those language skills
  • Direct experience living, working or independently traveling in the regions for which you apply
  • Professional experience leading or facilitating groups (preferably with students age 16 - 20)
  • Experience successfully working with a co-leader
  • Current Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification or complete the course pre-departure
  • Valid Driver's License for our Italy & Greece, Hawaii, and South Pacific semesters
  • Typical age of our Overseas Educators is 27 - 32. We rarely hire staff younger than 25, as we are looking for candidates with significant professional experience working with youth and/or working overseas, especially in our semester long programs
