WHAT IS A CHALLENGE LEADER?

“A Challenge Leader is a student who helps recruit and organise a team on campus to collectively fundraise and travel on an amazing bucket list adventure for the summer of 2026, all in the name of charity. In return, they gain personal development, new networks and friends, CV bragging rights and HUGE discounts on their own trip”

We make ethical adventure travel a reality while you are still at university. You, in return, can help other students achieve new dreams too, all by stepping outside of their comfort zone. Whether that’s trekking to the summit of Kilimanjaro, past snow-capped peaks of the Everest Base Camp trek, through dense rainforest of Machu Picchu, along hot, dry trails in the Atlas Mountains or running your first ever Marathon in Europe. We can make this happen with your help and throw in your flights while we are at it!

Applications close June 27th 2025 for UK, Irish and Dutch students 🇬🇧🇮🇪🇳🇱


Hear from previous student leaders to explain the role in a bit more detail!
