We seek individuals with training and experience with adolescent populations, wilderness emergency care, experiential teaching, paddling skills, group management on open water, and sound judgment. Most new AI's work a minimum of one summer season before moving up to the instructor role. Occasionally, the exceptional new staff with significant prior work experience with other Outward Bound Schools move to the instructor role more quickly, depending on competence and confidence and are eligible for ROPE credits that will come into play when promoted. Ten Thousand Islands North Carolina Outward Bound's Florida season runs from November to March. Trainings for new staff are scheduled at the beginning of November and again in early January.
Courses are primarily canoe based with some sea kayak courses.

The climbing instructor, in collaboration with the instructor, supervises all crews in a progression of increasingly difficult rock climbing challenges, culminating in multi-pitch routes. Activities include bouldering, top-rope climbing, rappelling, belaying and rescue instruction. Beyond technical skills, the ability and interest in teaching people and becoming connected with the students' experience is vital. We seek people who show potential to become field instructors as well as serving in the climbing role.
