Camp Nurse: Help Provide Opportunities to Children with a Parent in Prison
ORGANIZATION: New Hope
Please visit the new page to apply.
Did you know that a child with a parent in prison is significantly more likely than their peers to be incarcerated themselves later on in life (one study found up to 5 times more likely)? Did you know Oklahoma incarcerates women at a higher rate than anywhere else in the world? New Hope Oklahoma works with youth 5-18 who have/have had an incarcerated parent, with the mission to end generational incarceration. We provide after school programs, holiday parties, case management, summer camps, and overnight retreats, among other services.
Help us keep our campers safe and healthy! Primary responsibilities include helping with day-to-day camp injuries (such as scrapes, minor dehydration, and bug bites,) and monitoring and distributing medication. Residential, 5 day commitment. Small stipend attached to this role, as well as room and board during stay. Great way to get your hours in as a student!

Description
At New Hope, lives are renewed everyday. When a child's parent goes to prison, life as they know it ends. Through our life affirming programs, children are lifted from isolation and fear, into possibility and hope. This is achieved by a circle of adults who care, a safe place with others who understand, a chance to imagine a life of possibilities and new futures born though hope, everyday.
