    About

    Are you passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of children affected by cancer? We are looking for dedicated volunteer leaders to join our mission of providing free, fun, and supportive camp experiences to these amazing kids.

    As a leader of our Sibling Camp program, you will have the tangible opportunity to create unforgettable memories, foster friendships, and be a source of strength and joy for campers. You'll also be part of a compassionate and enthusiastic team dedicated to empowering children to just be kids.

    Specific Responsibilities

    Prior to your camp session, you will be responsible for working with our Program Manager to plan camp logistics, select and train camp volunteers, and oversee all activities.

    You will lead the rest of the Sibling Camp Leadership Team throughout planning and execution, helping our team meet internal deadlines and stay on track throughout the year.

    Throughout the in-person camp session, you’ll provide your fellow leadership and camp counselors with the support they need to thrive in the camp setting.

    Most importantly, you will get the unique opportunity to help give kids affected by cancer an incredible week of camp: feeling understood, having fun, and building friendships to last a lifetime.
