] Jumpstreet Tour Leaders ]
A Jumpstreet Tour Leader is a destination expert, camp counsellor, entertainer, chaperone
and role model wrapped into one inspiring youthful person. We generally recruit our Tour
Leaders through referrals and job postings on university websites.
We look for the following qualities:
« Professional yet fun-loving
« Positive and infectious energy
« Confident and outgoing
« Open-minded and approachable
« Disciplined and forward-thinking
« Resourceful and quick-thinking
Candidates are chosen following background
checks, two rounds of interviews, 25 hours of
classroom training and 50 hours of practical training
where candidates shadow a senior Tour Leader.
Their job is to accompany your group 24/7 and bring your itinerary to life*, including:
« Guiding your group through the ebb and flow of your itinerary
« Assisting chaperones with head counts and bed checks
« Safeguarding your group through busy streets and activity sites
« Responding to emergencies and coordinating on-site support
« Keeping your students engaged with stories, jokes, song and games
()(()
* Please note that when our Tour Leaders are not available, we use third-party Guide Agencies that are strictly vetted
by our Operations department to ensure your experience is just as fun, enriching and safe.
32 JUMPSTREET.COM/TOUR-LEADERSThey are always so caring, funny, energetic, and willing
to go the extra distance. And they contribute to the fond
memories our students retain later on. I saw a former
student recently who has since graduated from college, and
she asked me if we ever needed adult chaperones for the
trip to Québec, because she wanted to go again!

This trip gets you and your students involved in local development and
social initiatives that promote sustainability.
You’ll stay in Herradura, a rural town near Chirripo National Park in the
Talamanca Mountains. You’ll work with the Asociacion de Desarollo
Integral (ADI), a co-op that oversees local affairs in Herradura. Your goal
is to help the ADI improve the community’s quality of life through a
range of initiatives and projects, all while being totally immersed
in Spanish.
Your students will come away not only near-fluent but also with
a great appreciation of what it takes to be the change you
want to see in this world.
Of course, as a reward for all this great work we’ve woven
elements of our classic Costa Rica program, with day
trips and overnight excursions
to all the greats.
