Ocean Career: Broadreach Marine Science Instructor

Broadreach marine science courses combine a college curriculum with adventure to create dynamic learning experiences.

High school and college students can earn college credit while traveling with a small group of peers to the Caribbean, Curacao, and Fiji. Students participate in lectures, discussions, scuba diving, and field research, as well as activities that build leadership and teamwork. Our goal is that students gain new skills, new friends and have more fun learning than they ever thought possible. Broadreach Instructors are expected to educate, mentor, and inspire students every day. This is a 24/7 position with limited free time or personal space.

Broadreach instructors also need to be energetic and empathetic role models who excel in building meaningful relationships with young adults. Managing health and safety, maintaining a positive attitude through challenging circumstances, leading games, participating in service-learning activities, teaching, developing students’ personal growth, facilitating inclusive group dynamics, and demonstrating respectful travel are just a few of the many responsibilities of a Broadreach instructor.

Broadreach Summer Adventures are fun, rewarding, and demanding. Each course is approximately three weeks long and is mentally and physically challenging. Our most successful instructors are positive, flexible team players who are able to create a fun, cohesive, and supportive community. Groups typically have 8–14 students and 2–3 Broadreach Instructors. Contracts range from three to eight weeks from early June through mid-August. If you’re looking for a marine science job for the summer, consider submitting an application!
