They have just opened recruitment for Team Leader roles for their Kilimanjaro challenge. In this role you will gain a year of leadership experience (supported by bespoke training and coaching) before taking on the once-in-a-lifetime challenge of reaching the summit of Africa’s tallest mountain in August 2026.

Recruit: Drive our tried and tested recruitment campaign to assemble a team of like-minded individuals to take on Kilimanjaro with you.
Support: With our advice, support your team through their fundraising, aid them with their trip preparations and ensure they have a great pre-trip experience through organising socials and team fundraising events.

Benefits:

Take on a once-in-a-lifetime experience
Access reduced travel costs
Change the lives of thousands of people in East Africa through your team’s fundraising efforts

There have been some brilliant teams of students from the University of Exeter in the past, and previous Team Leaders enthuse about how this opportunity has been “the single most rewarding experience of their life” and helped them to secure employment upon graduation.
