VOLUNTEER

Are you inspired to & passionate about supporting families? Are you wanting to be part of something meaningful this summer? ...Something meaningful, fulfilling & transformative? ...Something that challenges you, uses your deepest gifts, and will make a lasting difference in the lives of families?

 

We're looking for extraordinary people to co-create a powerful Family Camp experience for our camp families. We're looking for people with a capacity to hold their own self-care while holding families and fellow staff members with a high level of support and compassion. We're looking for people who have integrated the compassionate consciousness of 'power-with' and can live, not just teach, the heart of NVC, and have fun doing it.

 

STAFF:

If you’re interested in being on staff please fill out our volunteer application HERE. We will be connecting with staff after January 2025.

We ask that staff have a higher level of NVC integration, which might look like:

• Involvement in living, sharing, knowing NVC in community over time.

• Ability to self-empathize, empathize, express honestly while caring for impact and awareness of how you’re holding internal and external power/rank/influence.

• Hosts and organizers having had a direct experience of the staff person having ability to be present with families while holding the needs of the whole camp and own needs with care.

• Involvement in community practicing NVC and Restorative processes where there is giving and receiving feedback.

• The ability, capacity and drive to contribute deeply to the service and needs of the camp community, and show up for commitments you have made, while proactively tending your needs while at camp.

 

In California, camp will happen mid to late June (Dates coming very soon!

In Washington, This year camp runs from July 19-26, 2025 for the families who attend, and staff arrive July 19th. 

Staff usually meets before camp for orientation, training and set-up, on zoom and possibly in person (TBD). We will likely leave later in the day or the day after camp completes (again TBA), after harvesting feedback and debriefing.

 

We'll support you with a place to stay, delicious, nutritious meals, pre-camp training, amazing cohorts, and likely a lot of challenge, growth and play.

 

If all of this sounds like a good match with you and your dreams, please fill out the VOLUNTEER SURVEY letting us know you're interested in volunteering and we will contact you soon!
