Youth Innovation & Economic Empowerment Summer Camp Volunteer (Detroit)

Avengers Youth Mentoring Organization (AYMO) is seeking dedicated volunteers to support our Youth Innovation & Economic Empowerment Summer Camp in Detroit, Michigan.

This 5-week summer program serves youth ages 5–13 and focuses on entrepreneurship, financial literacy, innovation, and community impact through hands-on, real-world learning. Youth participants collaborate to design, build, and operate a structured economic stand that is registered as a legitimate business. They host community sales events, manage profits, and donate 10% back to AYMO to support ongoing community revitalization efforts.

Volunteer Responsibilities:

• Support small groups of youth during daily activities and projects
• Assist with entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and innovation activities
• Help supervise youth during workshops, business planning, and community events
• Encourage teamwork, creativity, leadership, and positive behavior
• Assist staff with setup, materials, and transitions throughout the day
• Serve as a positive role model in a safe, age-appropriate environment

Ideal Volunteers:

• Individuals interested in youth development, education, entrepreneurship, or community impact
• College students, professionals, educators, entrepreneurs, and community members
• Patient, reliable, and comfortable working with elementary and middle-school-aged youth
• Ability to commit to at least one full day per week (Monday–Thursday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM preferred)

No prior teaching experience is required. Training and on-site guidance will be provided.

This is a meaningful opportunity to help youth build confidence, business skills, and civic responsibility while directly contributing to economic empowerment in the Sunnyside community.
