  • STUDENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR ROTARY YOUTH SUMMER CAMPS!
    The Rotary Youth Camp in Lee's Summit, Missouri and has two amazing volunteer opportunities for students.  The first is with Camp Rise, a safe, engaging and activity-packed summer camp for youth ages 5-15 in the greater Kansas City area. This overnight camp gives under-served youth the opportunity to gain new, enriching experiences and valuable life-skills while empowering them to celebrate their independence and resilience.  We are currently seeking both male AND female students that will be 18 years or older (by the start of the camp session) and are interested in serving as summer camp counselors at Camp RISE.  Interested students can register to volunteer at: https://rotaractkc.com/volunteer/
    The secondary opportunity is with Girls Can Camp, an overnight camp for young women with disabilities and their friends. Our site is fully accessible so that every girl can camp and our staff is made up of dedicated and knowledgeable women who truly believe that every child should be able to experience the wonder of nature and the magic of camp. We are currently seeking FEMALE students that will be 16 years or older by the start of the camp session (although 18+ is preferred, selection is based on application) and are interested in serving as summer camp counselors at Girls Can Camp. Interested students can register to volunteer at: https://www.girlscancamp.com/volunteers
