Job Description
Are you looking to spend your summer making a meaningful impact by helping individuals with developmental disabilities enjoy a typical camp experience?
Join us and gain valuable hands-on experience while making a real difference in the lives of children. As an Inclusion Facilitator at MJCCA Day Camps, you will work with children and teens, aged 5 to 22, who have special needs, enabling them to fully participate in camp activities alongside their typical peers.
The Inclusion Facilitator role involves different facilitator-to-camper ratios, ranging from 1 : 1 to 3 : 1, depending on the campers' needs.
This position offers the opportunity to gain valuable experience while enjoying a fun and social environment. Inclusion Facilitators may also be placed to work as a counselor for our Chaverim group, a self-contained special needs group comprising students in grades rising from 7th to 12th grade.
In this role, Inclusion Facilitators will lead their group through daily activities, assist with daily needs and coach to work in the camp store.
We are looking for dedicated, responsible, and compassionate individuals who are eager to make a difference. While the Inclusion Facilitator position is a paid one, there are also opportunities to earn internship credits and community service hours.
Training is provided and mandatory. Although we are not a therapeutic center, campers often bring in external resources, providing you with the chance to learn from other professionals in the field.
We are currently hiring individuals in 10th grade and older, prior experience is preferred but not required although it may impact your placement with a camper.
