Training Required:Camp Counselors must complete Amanda the Panda’s Small Group Facilitator Training, offered quarterly throughout the year. New counselors will be paired with more experienced counselors to start and are encouraged to participate in Amanda the Panda’s continuing education opportunities.
Help support Camp Amanda by being a Camp Counselor. Counselors will help facilitate peer support amongst a small group of adults or children at a weekend camp.
Volunteers will co-facilitate peer support among grieving individuals of all ages (groups divided by age) and stay overnight at camp from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon.
Volunteers should be comfortable talking about grief and loss and the various emotions that go along with it, be able to lead a small group through discussion and grief-related activities, have effective communication and interpersonal skills, and have supportive listening skills.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email megan@amandathepanda.org.
