Jason Sarouhan

A fifty-five day Outward Bound Instructor’s course solidified Jason’s commitment to experiential education and he spent the next several years teaching, developing and leading kayaking, backpacking, rock climbing and natural history programs for youth, and organizing wilderness education programs for adults. Hired as a field leader for Global Routes in 2003 to facilitate international community service programs for teens, he then managed their Africa & Asia program for two years before assuming the responsibilities of director of the organization. As an administrator, Jason had the opportunity to further embrace facets of leadership as he hired, trained and supported field staff preparing to embark on cross-cultural immersion experiences.

Jason has dedicated his career to being an inspiring role model for his students and staff. As a committed educator, he is devoted to supporting individuals in clarifying their interests and taking continued steps towards self-discovery, the essence of his work as a gap-year counselor with The Center for Interim Programs.
