Founder Intern for Adventure & Explorers Community

The World Explorers Collective is a Copenhagen-based ‘frivillig forening’ (similar to non-profit) dedicated to enabling expeditions and promoting adventure. We fund expeditions through our World Explorers Grant, host the Art of Adventuring podcast featuring professional athletes and explorers (e.g. Red Bull athletes) and are building a revolutionary adventure community mobile app (pre-launch).

Currently, our operations are driven primarily by one passionate individual, and support is needed to take this initiative to new heights. Even though we run as a non-profit, the ambition is to spin out activities as a for-profit company in the future.

Role Summary: Taking on similar tasks to start-up founder, you will have the opportunity to work on various aspects of the organization, from engaging with top-tier athletes and international brands to assisting in the development of our community app and website, as well as shaping the overall strategy and direction.
