a non-profit summer day camp for refugee children
Adult Volunteers
Camp Nefesh was founded by a teenager, and though Camp Nefesh is teen run and led, we can always use the help of adult allies to assist our campers and teens. If you'd like to volunteer in a way not listed below, please contact us.
Workshop Leaders
As a part of our mission to empower teens, we provide useful training and job skills they will use for Camp Nefesh and beyond. Do you feel comfortable teaching about a certain skill? Maybe you work in HR and you want to lead a resume-writing or interview workshop! Maybe you are a social worker and want to lead a trauma-informed seminar! Contact us if you have something to teach our teens!
Board Members
Our board meetings are currently on the third Tuesday of every month from 6:15-7:30 pm. Interested in joining or attending? Contact Us!
Grant Writers
Camp Nefesh is looking for experienced grant writers to help us find and apply for grants. Interested? Contact Us!
