I am posting here in hopes of recruiting passionate young people that seek to work with, mentor, or teach children impacted by trauma in our community. Every summer, we offer an 8-week summer camp, Camp PEACE, to children that have been exposed to domestic or family violence with the goal to facilitate peace education, alternatives to violence, resilience building, mindfulness practices and cognitively based compassion training. Camp PEACE offers a mix of social-emotional learning along with fun summer camp activities all while promoting tolerance, impartiality, empathy, self-compassion and compassion for others. I am looking for people to be head teachers (grades k-1, 4-5 and Middle School) co teachers, helpers, facilitators for science projects (hands on), yoga, tai chi, and more)  For further information on tasks, duties, and projects please email me.
