Inspire our Youth

Are you interested in becoming an Educator in an SOI program? Students on Ice gathers a diverse group of individuals together who connect with the SOI education philosophy, and who contribute in their own unique way to inspiring a new generation of global youth leaders.

Educator Participant Philosophy

The SOI education team is carefully built for each expedition in order to create the most powerful learning experience for the participants. Expeditions are not vacations; educators embark on a journey that requires time, energy, passion and interest. It begins before the expedition through pre-learning content, and continues after the expedition as a member of a global group of SOI Alumni. We recognize that leadership and learning happen in many forms, and we welcome candidates who have non-traditional learning journeys. We strive to provide an inclusive educational experience that prioritizes diverse cultural, ethnic, and gender expressions. We seek educators who live to their values and are ready to empower youth as the leaders of today.  As our expeditions occur in remote and unpredictable locations, we prioritize sharing that is creative, dynamic, and flexible. Many of the transformative moments that occur on expeditions don’t happen in the spotlight or in front of a PowerPoint presentation. They happen in spending time connecting with youth, and connecting to nature.

Application Process
