Camp Mendocino

http://www.campmendocino.org/campemployment.html
Job Title: Camp Program Positions and Camp Support Positions
Deadline: Rolling admission but positions fill up quick!

We hire 100 staff from all over the world. It takes a special person to work and be successful at Camp Mendocino; we look for energy, a strong work ethic and a passion for serving youth!

Camp Mendocino is part of Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco and adheres to their same youth development strategy:

“In order to be successful kids need to feel a sense of competence, a sense of usefulness, a sense of belonging, and a sense of power or influence. Camp is one of the key programs, designed to provide kids with a positive self-identify, to contribute to good health and well being, to instill a strong moral compass, these are the things kids need to be successful, responsible, and productive members of society.”

You could save a child’s life by working at Camp Mendocino!

Kids are kids. No matter what their background, they need to feel a sense of belonging to be included, to be recognized, to be understood and most importantly to be appreciated and loved for who they are.

Many of the campers who attend Camp Mendocino come from some of the most challenging neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay Area. Each summer it seems at least one of our campers loses a family member to drugs or violence or to poor choices. As you would imagine these challenges and pressures adversely affect our campers especially when faced with making the right decisions themselves when encountering and overcoming negative peer pressure.

What would your role be?

By acting as a strong role model and counselor you can develop our campers’ abilities to make the correct choices. Your influence will inspire a child and help them become a successful and productive human being. By helping our members grow we help their families and communities. You may only get one opportunity in your life to make a real difference in a child’s life by pulling them back from the brink or simply showing them other possibilities. Often, all our kids need is one positive role model in their life to save them, could that person be you?

The campers who are lucky enough to attend Camp Mendocino, absolutely love camp. Many return and participate in our teen program and move on to become staff themselves. We also make every effort to screen the campers before they come to camp therefore ensuring we are reaching the kids who are in a position to benefit from the Camp Mendocino experience.

If you are selected to work at Camp Mendocino, we guarantee you will change a child’s life. But perhaps just as importantly, you will likely change your own. This is an experience of a life-time and something any future employer or university will be proud to see! By investing in our campers you will be investing in yourself, in a way no other employment or experience can provide.

What type of positions are available?

• Camp Program Positions
• Camp Support Positions
