Sibling Connections supports siblings separated by the foster care system. We offer a week long camping program in August called Camp Sibling Connections We invite 100+ youth to spend a week of camp with their siblings. The week is filled with programs that strengthen and preserve the sibling bond. We offer a camp-wide birthday party for every child so they have the opportunity to exchange gifts with their siblings. We provide all youth will a scrapbook of photos during the week of camp. For many of our youth, they don't have photos from their past, or current ones of them and their siblings. Our goal is to provide sibling with a safe and supportive environment where they can have a normal childhood experience with their siblings.
We are looking for a photographer(s)! In this position, you would be responsible for capturing sibling photos throughout the week. We invite 120 youth for the week and our goal is to provide every youth with 10-15 photos from our professional photographer. Camp counselors assist in taking photos throughout the day to aid photographers. These photos will also be used in a slideshow on the last evening of Camp.
It's an amazing honor to capture the many moments that our siblings create during their week of camp. Thank you for considering this volunteer position. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you.
Specific Deliverables

-Turn in daily digital files so photos can be printed daily
-Private room and work space available
-Photos are to be kept confidential and remain the property of Sibling Connections.

Mission Statement
Sibling Connection supports the creation of enduring family relationships and community connections for sisters and brothers experiencing foster care in Massachusetts. Our work is accomplished through innovative programs and practices restoring and strengthening the lives of siblings who have been separated when placed in the foster care system.
Description
Sibling Connections supports siblings separated by the public foster care system in Massachusetts. There are over 10,000 youth in foster care, and often siblings are separated due to the lack of foster homes available that are able to home all siblings. Children in foster care who have access to their families report improved social, emotional and behavioral well being. We support family connections through three programs:
-Sibling Sundays is a program we offer from Oct - May which allows siblings to get together about once a month with their siblings to spend time and enjoy an activity together for 3-4 hours. We operate Sibling Sundays in the Greater Boston area, Lowell, and Springfield.
-Camp Sibling Connections is a week-long camp located in Smithfield, Maine in which 115 siblings come together for a week of fun.
-Weekend Retreats allow siblings to spend a weekend together building their relationships and enjoying activities that typical siblings would experience.
Sibling Connections is supported by the volunteer support of over 100+ individuals statewide and are the backbone of our organization. So often, kids in the foster care are supported by adults in who are paid to do so. Our kids treasure the time with a caring adult who is choosing to be a part of their lives because they care about them. Please consider becoming a Sibling Connections family member today!
