The goal of El Buen’s Summer Camp is to keep kids, ages 6 to 12, engaged in academic activities, stay fit, and spend time outside throughout the summer. Although our focus is academic-based, we strive on making our curriculum as engaging and as fun as possible. This includes field trips, art projects and outside activities.
This summer, we are looking for energetic and caring volunteers to assist with summer camp. Volunteers will work directly with youth program staff each day to coordinate a quality camp experience for our young learners. Volunteers will be trained to assist with instruction as well as managing outdoor activities.

Mission Statement
El Buen Samaritano, an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas serving the Latino community of Central Texas, is committed to recognizing the dignity of all by ensuring access to healthcare, education and essential needs that lead to healthy, productive and secure lives.
Description
Since its inception, El Buen has been at the forefront of responding to the many social-environmental factors leading to lack of access to health care, social services, education, and nutrition. Over time, El Buen has adapted to meet the community needs that come with population growth, immigration, and economic fluctuations.
This adaptation to change has led to our comprehensive strategy of becoming a "one stop shop" to address the needs of the Latino and Spanish-speaking community in Travis County and surrounding areas. Through our Family and Health Literacy programming, El Buen provides education (ESL, Digital Literacy, Adult Basic Education and High School Equivalency in Spanish), workforce development, child and adolescent development (parenting and school-readiness, after school tutoring, and summer camp), health literacy (access to health services, chronic disease management classes and screenings), a year-round, no-cost food pantry, and a community garden where clients can grow their own healthy food. These services are provided by bilingual bicultural staff that includes community health workers (CHWs), volunteers, and health and social services practitioners
