Join the APA Team

Work outdoors. Lead with purpose. Create experiences that matter.

Why Work With Us?

You’ll spend your time outdoors, on program, working directly with students:

  • Running programs in incredible environments, all across Asia
  • Leading young people on multi-day experiential learning experiences, from challenging expeditions to meaningful service initiatives
  • Taking on real responsibility
  • Being part of a team that relies on each other
  • Seeing the impact you have on students’ lives, day to day

Some days are tough.
Some days are brilliant.
Most days are both.

Are you an APA kind of person?

Different Backgrounds. Same Mindset.

We hire from all over the world. People join us from different countries and cultures, with very different educations, backgrounds and life experiences. Our teams include people of different nationalities, races, faiths, genders and sexualities, and people who think and process the world differently.

That mix matters. It helps us build teams who understand where students are coming from. And it gives students a more accurate picture of the real world, through role models from different backgrounds.

You might think you don’t “tick the usual boxes”. That’s totally OK. Do you have the skills we’re looking for? Will you work hard, be a great teammate, and care about the students you work with?

If so, we want you

Our roles suit people who:

  • Take ownership rather than waiting to be told
  • Use judgement and stay calm when things change
  • Bring energy and step forward when it matters
  • Care about the students they’re working with and the standard they deliver
  • Want to improve, not just participate
