Join Our Team. Change The World

Why Work at Rustic Pathways?

Rustic Pathways is a global leader in student travel, driven by a mission to inspire and empower youth through immersive, impactful experiences. We operate programs in over 38 countries, offering students the opportunity to grow as global citizens while directly contributing to communities around the world.

Powered by People, Culture, and Purpose

Our strength comes from our people. With teams based across the globe, Rustic Pathways thrives on cultural diversity, deep-rooted country partnerships, and a unified commitment to ethical, meaningful travel. From local guides to program leaders, every team member helps create life-changing journeys.

Built on Global Expertise

Most of our team members live and work outside the United States. We foster leadership teams that combine international and local staff to ensure both cultural depth and student-centered care. This blend creates truly unique educational experiences for our travelers.

Led by Experienced Mentors

Our Program Leaders bring experience from diverse fields—teaching, wilderness training, psychology, international development, and experiential education. Each year, we host intensive training sessions to maintain the highest standards in safety, service, and student growth. These leaders aren’t just staff—they’re mentors, role models, and changemakers.

For me, working for Rustic Pathways has not only fulfilled my personal career goals, but it has also allowed me to fulfill personal goals—teaching the next generation of students the importance of protecting our shared humanity. The experiences I create for students have the power to rectify stereotypes and bring people of different backgrounds together. At Rustic Pathways, I don't only help youth travel but I also help to shape the future!
