Being a Teen Hero requires time and dedication. Each volunteer is depended upon as part of the team. Teen heroes are required to show up to their site on time daily and attend all mandatory meetings and trainings.
Teen Heroes will assist staff with program duties which include: set up/clean up of daily activities and events, encouraging participation, leading crafts and activities, and attending and assisting staff with special events. Teen Hero volunteers assist at K.I.D.S. Camp, Camp Lakeside, Sports Camp and Club West Teen Camp.
