Job Descriptions
New for 2018– Counselor-in-Training Program
This year 14 and 15 year olds have the opportunity to participate in our brand new C.I.T. program. This four-week long volunteer program gives teenagers the opportunity to assist in our camps. They will be learning about our programs, gaining experience working with children, and learning basic job etiquette skills. The goal of the program is that when they are 16 years old, they can be hired as a Club SciKidz junior counselor. This program also allows them to build their resume and volunteerism, and some schools accept this volunteer opportunity as learning service hours*. (Check with your individual school to see if hours from for-profit organizations count).
