APPLICATIONS DUE SOON (2/1)! Lead your own Let’s Team on your college campus!
Are you a current university/college student who loves Let’s Go? We’ve got the perfect opportunity for you!
For the first time ever, Let’s Go is inviting you to represent Let’s Go and found your own Let’s Go Campus Team at your school as a Let’s Go Campus Director!
You’ve got my attention. What is a Campus Director?
As a Let’s Go Campus Director, you will have the opportunity to dedicate about 15 hours per week during the academic term to:
- - Build, recruit, train, and manage a campus team of writers for the 52-year-old leading, internationally-renowned student budget travel guide
- - Become an expert in select travel destinations
- - Publicize Let’s Go at your campus
But what’s in it for me?
Campus Directors get to:
- Connect with fellow students at Let’s Go Headquarters
- Hone their writing skills with training from expert Let’s Goers
- Get published on an international stage
- Gain invaluable entrepreneurial and leadership experience
- Put Let’s Go on their resumes
If that doesn’t convince you, perhaps a shameless name-dropping of where some our Let’s Go alumni have ended up will do the trick:
The Atlantic
Esquire
Disney
Harper’s Magazine
Lonely Planet
Microsoft
The New York Times
The New Yorker
Parade
Playboy
TIME Magazine
The White House
What would my responsibilities be as a Let’s Go Campus Director?
The Campus Director is ultimately responsible for the entire Campus Team. Responsibilities for the Campus Director vary from week to week, but you can expect to dedicate approximately 15 hours per week during the semester. Your time will be split between managing your team, publicizing Let’s Go at your campus, writing travel information and stories, and working with the Let’s Go Headquarters.
