Job Description

WorldStrides is the global leader in educational travel and experiential learning. The company was founded in 1967 to provide middle school travel programs to Washington, D.C., and has grown to provide a wide range of programs for more than half a million students annually to over 100 countries around the world. WorldStrides offers experiential learning programs in educational travel, performing arts, language immersion, career exploration, service-learning, study abroad, and sports. Each of these experiences helps students to see beyond the classroom and to see the world - and themselves - in new ways.

On-Site Coordinators are not required to tour with the group(s) during the day, however, they must remain at the hotel at all times while the group is in-house.

Essential Functions:

  • Efficiently manage arriving and departing groups in an expedient, courteous, and customer-focused manner
  • Manage any issues that occur while engaged with the group
  • Maintain/exceed a high level of professionalism and provide exceptional customer service at all times
