Goodman's state licensed, City of Madison accredited elementary summer camp program provides an enriching environment for children 5-12 years of age. Children will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on learning designed to build proficiency in reading, math, and science in fun, hands-on ways! Each week will also offer a theme with enrichment options, swimming lessons, arts/crafts, recreational games, visits to favorite community locations and more!
Volunteers will support staff in engaging youth in program activities, helping to keep the classroom environment clean and healthy, and ensuring youth have a safe and fun experience!
Volunteers will be paired with one classroom for the summer, and are asked to commit to a minimum of three hours a week on a regular schedule. Positions are available Monday - Friday in the mornings 9:00am - 12:00pm and in the afternoons 1:00pm - 4:30 pm. Afternoon shifts (1-4:30pm) will mostly be spent on fieldtrips.

Description
The Goodman Community Center is not your average community center. As I get to talking with people about Goodman, they inevitably end up surprised. They’re surprised by how many programs and resources we offer, how beautiful our facilities are, or how many people we serve. Every year more than 30,000 people use the Center - some who come to one event, others who are very familiar faces here.
Thanks to our generous community, we just built and moved into a second beautiful facility across the street, the Brassworks building. We’re now reconfiguring and refreshing the Center’s first home on Waubesa Street, the Ironworks building. During this past ten years, we’ve nearly doubled in size.
Our staff are committed to learning and continually improving, too. That’s why each program uses a variety of tools to measure impacts for both the program overall, and for each individual participant. We use that data to constantly fine-tune what we do - and how we do it.
We’re glad Goodman is one of many organizations in the Madison area who are pouring themselves into making our community great - for us all. We hope you’ll join us. Because we know that every good thing that happens here is made possible by people like you.
