We are looking for individuals who are compassionate, encouraging, empathetic, kind, sensitive, patient, and adventurous. We look forward to learning more about you to see if you might be a good fit for our mission and vision of changing the destinies of children exposed to family violence through the modality of camping and ongoing relationships.
