tour leader positions...

"The quality of leadership, more than any other single factor, determines the success or failure of an organization."

Fred Fiedler & Martin Chemers

With the number of participants standing at between 20 and 30 at each project over the two weeks, P.U.E.B.L.O needs leadership figures to take charge of the day to day running of the projects and the additional adventure tours. We welcome everyone, regardless of whether you've been to PUEBLO before, to apply.

Our Project Leaders look after the groups of participants at the projects from the moment they touch down in their host country to the moment they check in to the airport to leave again. They deal with the day to day tasks of work rotas, waking everyone up in the morning, arranging transport to and from the project and making sure that everyone abodes by the P.U.E.B.L.O rules while having a great time! Our project leaders in Dominican Republic are required to have at least an intermediate level Spanish and a current drivers licence as they will be driving the participants to and from the project and also so that they can help students should any problems arise. We also request that those who are offered positions as project leaders do first aid training before arriving at the projects. The most important thing is that the leaders set a good example for the participants by showing a positive and enthusiastic attitude to working and offering someone to talk to if any participants should find themselves lonely or homesick.

Tour Leaders are the more adventurous ones who take care of the more adventurous students who take part in the adventure tours throughout the host countries following their project's end. Tour leaders do not need necessarily to be IAGA trained as at each activity on the tour there will be fully trained guides to instruct. However, these guides are not guaranteed to speak English so it is important that the tour leaders are able to speak the native tongue of their host country. Tour leaders must also be willing to show a positive attitude to the activities and be an example to those students who may be nervous having never done these things before. First aid training is important in this role with the chance of cuts and bruises is higher on white water rafting and canyoning tours than when mixing cement!
