 The mission of The Road Less Traveled is to provide young adults with a unique experience that nurtures their physical and intellectual growth through the development of wilderness skills, environmental education, community service and cultural awareness. RLT runs dozens of trips every summer all over the world, and our office staff in Chicago, IL works hard throughout the year and in the summer to ensure that these trips run smoothly and safely. Each summer, we seek motivated, dedicated, and competent interns. In turn, these interns gain valuable experience in the field of adventure travel. All internships involve professional-level tasks that prepare for future employment in any office-setting. EXPEDITION INTERNS The Road Less Traveled has a small number of internships available each summer. Interns are past RLT participants, will have completed a year of college prior to the summer, and must be certified in Wilderness First Responder (WFR) before the start of the summer. Past participants who have attended RLT’s Leadership Challenge and Service Leadership programs are strongly encouraged to apply. To apply for a position, please complete the standard Employment Application found on our website. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office.

Young people who come on our programs immerse themselves in places average tourists have never heard of and few will ever venture. They come to study languages and new customs, to interact with animals and build schools. They are learners, givers and adventurers. - Program Locations
