Latinitas is seeking energetic, enthusiastic, and responsible summer camp volunteers that can help facilitate our media and tech-focused summer camps. Starting July 8, we're hosting 4 weeks of camp for girls ages 9 - 14. Each week, participating girls will explore themes like film, design, health and wellness, and leadership.
Volunteers should be interested in youth empowerment, media, and technology. Experience in teaching, mentoring, and classroom management is encouraged.
Volunteers will help with the following tasks:
- Help Latinitas Facilitators with camp setup and cleanup
- Distribute materials such as pens, pencils, worksheets, iPads, and other equipment
- Ensure that iPads, phones, and laptops are fully charged and working properly
- Work directly with participants and guide them through media and tech activities
- Promote a positive and safe environment
- Document camp and field trips by taking photos and/or video
- Assisting Latinitas Facilitators by organizing and uploading photos and videos to Google Drive and/or YouTube

Mission Statement
Latinitas is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering all girls to innovate through media and technology.
Description
Latinitas, an Austin-based nonprofit organization, is dedicated to empowering all girls to innovate through media and technology, providing direct digital media and tech training and esteem-boosting services to girls and teens across Texas annually. Latinitas envisions a future in which all Latinas are courageous leaders, and are strong and confident in their image.
Girls and families in Latinitas learn how to do graphic design, produce video, invent social media campaigns, develop video games and mobile apps, and learn coding and robotics to ensure new and diverse voices in media and technology. Latinitas also produces the first magazine of its kind, Latinitasmagazine.org. The publications serve as an opportunity to not only address STEM skills in web development, design and digital media production, but also to publish stories and images of Latina girls and women succeeding in media and technology fields, non-traditional jobs and other ventures, capitalizing on media’s power to influence behaviors, reveal role models and validate youth of color, their culture and identity.
