Youth Camp in Jamaica *** update: Volunteers have been chosen
Needed: $8500
Received: $8500
Good Works is co-sponsoring a project with United Youth Corps in Ocho Rios, Jamaica from July 26, 2015 until July 31, 2015. This project will provide a total of six individuals to help staff a summer Youth camp.
We are seeking two individuals with cooking/kitchen experience. Physically, they will need to be able to handle hard work in a hot kitchen (no A/C). They will be preparing three meals per day, plus snacks. They will be assisted by at least two local Jamaican volunteers who will help with meal planning and will instruct on preparing local foods when necessary.
We are seeking four other volunteers to assist with classes and all the various activities throughout the five days of camp. They will interact extensively with the campers and should be able to earn the respect of the campers, but at the same time, develop a good rapport with them.
All team members must set a Godly example and be familiar with Biblical principles.
COST:
Room, board and ground transportation will be provided by Good Works. Participants are expected to provide half their airfare costs and any extracurricular activities (costs will vary depending on location of origin).
Scholarships may be made available based on need.
