Are you an enthusiastic and upbeat community member that is interested in having a great time with kids this summer? Hope for Harvest Day Camp is thrilled to announce that we are looking for dedicated individuals to join our team as counselor's aids for our 2023 program!

As a counselor's aid, you will have the unique opportunity to work with underserved youth ages 6-16, many of whom are foster children and Salvation Army shelter residents. By volunteering your time, you will make a significant impact on these children's summer camp experience by being a positive role model and providing them with the support and engagement they need to enjoy camp activities.

This includes assisting the counselors with various activities throughout the day, including gym/field games, sports, crafts, STEM projects, and team building challenges. There is also an option of chaperoning pool days and field trips (space limited).

Joining our summer camp team as a counselor's aid is an excellent way to give back to your community and make a difference in the lives of children who need it the most. We can't wait to have you on board!

Mission Statement

Hope For Harvest uses cultural influences and charitable resources to provide essential living items and services for Charlotte’s underserved youth, while providing an escape through music, dance and life development programs.

Description

Hope For Harvest serves as beacon of community advancement for families in the city of Charlotte North Carolina with roots expanding over 40 years. Hope For Harvest first began its start as week-long fundraiser as an effort to fund and continue the services provided by Community Outreach Christian Ministries & The Harvest Kitchen after the passing of our founder’s mother, Pastor Barbara Brewton whom founded COCM. Pastor Barbara Brewton was responsible for feeding over 100,000 families throughout the city of Charlotte, leaving an incredible trail of Hope that still lives on today.

Driven by her late mother’s philanthropic efforts and passion for the helping underserved youth, Catherine Brewton officially founded Hope For Harvest in 2016. Our recently re-dedicated youth center, the Barbara Brewton Hope For Harvest Youth Center, provides free services including after-school programs, tutorial services, nutritional guidance and performing arts programs for the youth in the community.
