Now Hiring for the Summer of a Lifetime

Journey of Hope and Gear Up Florida wouldn’t have three decades of impact without a good crew. Get the internship or course credit you need through a once-in-a-lifetime program that will set you apart from your peers. These events require leaders who can balance a specific role while supporting the needs of the larger team. The hard work done from the road each day pays off when you get to see the impact it has on our friends across the nation, make lifelong connections with your team and experience all the country has to offer.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT SETS YOU APART FROM THE CROWD

MORE THAN AN INTERNSHIP

If you need an internship or course credit in finance, operations, logistics, communications, media or public relations, crew positions give you the opportunity to fulfill your obligations in a fast-paced environment with a unique mission and scope. Pi Alpha alumni will tell you that having a crew experience on their resume helps get them the interview, but their experience from that summer prepares them to land the job.

Crew positions provide for a unique paid internship opportunity with a nationwide network of alumni and supporters, but the benefit doesn’t stop there. Crew alumni will often tell you the greatest value they got from the trip were the shared experiences from friendship visits, the relationships built with team members and seeing some of the most iconic places the country has to offer.

LEADERS WANTED

Ability Experience is looking for Pi Kapps who can work in a fast-paced environment, identify and solve problems, manage time and lead peers to a common goal. From the driver’s seat, you manage a crucial role in the success of the program while ensuring the team can reach their destination each day.
