Local coordinators
The Life Blood of Cultural Exchange
- The Local Coordinator is the person that the students get to know the best, other than their Host Family.
- They welcome them, give them their orientation, and meet with them every month of their stay. They will take them to special events and be there for them if there is a need to help with resources, issues with school or issues with their Host Family.
- For the governing organization they are extremely important. Reports have to be generated every month, to ensure that the students are thriving, safe and healthy.
- For the Host Family, the LC is the person they will know best that is representing the sponsor. They will help them be a great host family, be a resource for them to turn to if there is a conflict with the students or the school.
- The LCs are highly trained to be able to do there job with grace and humility, with new training courses offered throughout the year.
- The LCs are also required to find new host families and schools within their territories. The bonus program allows them to make decent money while having fun with the students.
- APPLY TODAY TO BECOME ONE OF THESE SPECIAL TEAM MEMBERS THAT MAKES OUR ORGANIZATION SO SPECIAL.
- Do you have an interest in different cultures and unique experiences?
- A Journey Thru Education is a boutique agency specializing in cultural exchange programs for hard-working, academically excellent students from Europe. These students are placed in wonderful host families and public schools to experience an academic year of American culture.
- This process would not be possible without the hard work of our Local Coordinators, or LCs, who are the “face” of A Journey Thru Education. Our LCs are the first point of contact for the host families, students, and schools. As such, they need to be friendly, approachable, and good at problem solving. Experience in customer service, education, or crisis resolution is preferred. LCs must also have experience with sales or recruitment, as they also double as recruiters, finding new host families and growing their own territories. Our LCs are paid a modest stipend based on the number of students placed in their “cluster," as well as bonuses for recruiting new host families.
- A Journey Thru Education is regulated by the Department of State. As such, qualified candidates must:
- Be 21 years of age or older.
- Live no more than 120 miles from their host families and students.
- Pass a Criminal Background Check.
- Pass the DoS Assessment with 90% or higher.
- If you are interested in becoming a Local Coordinator and taking on a uniquely rewarding challenge, please apply today!
- This position is part-time contract work. Many of the tasks can be done as work-from-home and remote, though monthly home visits to your host families are required.
