What is a Student Outreach Director?
A Student Outreach Director (SOD) is a student leader who drives the campaign for international exposure at his/her university. They work on their campus to raise awareness for Encountour’s international volunteer trips. Student Outreach Directors are eligible to earn subsidized/free travel and/or cash.
