We are looking for a variety of volunteer types with different commitment levels.

Co-Directors are in charge of organizing the curriculum and leading the delegates through discussion during camp as well as leading the staff through trainings. This is a significant time commitment before camp. These people need to be comfortable with the Anytown philosophies as well as leading large group discussions. Must also be available to stay the night.

Family Group Leaders need to be available to attend all trainings and to stay the night all nights of camp. These folks are interacting with and mentoring youth. Family Group Leaders will be responsible for leading delegates through processing time after large group activities. Family group leaders have the opportunity to contribute to each day of activities in different ways depending on their skill set.

Logistics folks will be available at various times throughout camp to run errands, make copies, deal with unexpected events and run to the store. This position not only anticipates and responds to the supply and set-up needs of the co-directors and family group leaders, but also maintains first aid and other supplies as well as the emergency contact information for the delegates and any staff under 18. Logistics folks do not need to attend all of camp but should be available to respond to needs. If multiple folks are available, shifts can be created to cover the time.

Observers are folks who can offer feedback to Co-Directors about activities and interactions at camp. This is a hands-off role that takes note of how activities are being conducted. This person would also serve as a resource for camp staff to provide a listening ear and feedback. Observers will ideally be available for the entire length of camp. However, if multiple observers are available, shifts can be created to split the time.

OFT (Organized Free Time) volunteers will come to camp only during our scheduled free time. These people might have a skill to offer or an educational component to teach. Examples of past volunteers: screen printing class (brought all needed supplies and taught small group of delegates screen printing), sports activities (hosted a game of soccer or basketball with the delegates), yoga (taught a group of delegates yoga, brought extra mats for delegates to use). If you have a unique skill or idea for free time, please sign up and we will discuss how you can contribute.

Mental Health Professionals are needed to offer an outlet to delegates. The content of camp can be traumatic and stressful. This position could be available in shifts to have all of the large group activity times covered.
