Volunteer: esp Athens Summer Camp 2025 Weeks 1-6

Please read the volunteer requirements and details with each shift BEFORE signing-up.

This is your SUMMER CAMP 2025 WEEKS 1-6 BUDDY VOLUNTEER HUB!!!☀️

Registration this year looks slightly different - all of the weeks are listed under this same main event in hopes to make it easier to see all of the weeks at the same time and streamline registration. Be sure you check which week(s) you register for. We'd love to have you at them all!🥳  Volunteers must be 14 by the Monday of their volunteer week. 

VOLUNTEER DETAILS:

• When signing up to volunteer, you are committing to be paired one on one with a participants with a disability for ALL 5 days (Monday - Friday) from 8:00am - 4:00pm of the week(s) you register for (participants arrive at 9 am and leave at 3 pm). This is DAY CAMP, not overnight. 
• Volunteer Training will be Tuesday, May 20th. HERE IS THE SLIDESHOW IF YOU REGISTERED AFTER THE TRAINING DATES! This is required to review before volunteering.
• Each volunteer gets placed in an age group unit for the duration of the week. If you volunteer multiple weeks, you may switch units based off of the sign-ups for that week. Age groups are based off of the participants age, but we do our best to place the volunteers in the most appropriate age group (ex. a 14 year old volunteer will NOT be in the oldest age group, but an 18 year old volunteer may be in the oldest age group). 
• Volunteers will park at UNG - Oconee and be shuttled to the esp building. Be parked and ready to go by 7:50am. If you are being dropped off, you an be dropped at the esp gym at 8:00am. Volunteers will be dismissed each day before or right at 4pm depending on when we wrap up.
• If you are not 14, and still want to be a part of esp, check out our Leadership Experience Opportunity (listed as it's own event!) 
• Lunch is not provided. Please bring a water bottle and any snacks you may want! 
• One-time opportunities are listed individually under their own events.

If you can't commit to the entire week, you can find someone to split it with! So you could do M-W and they can do W-F (ideally overlap on Wednesday so theres a smooth transition). If you are choosing to do this with someone you must both email gracie@espyouandme.org AND athensvolunteers@espyouandme.org .

If you have any questions or concerns please email gracie@espyouandme.org AND athensvolunteers@espyouandme.org
