Job DescriptionSalary: 
Summer Enrichment Coordinator (Day Camp Counselor)
Are you looking for a rewarding, creative, youth-centered, team-oriented and FUN summer job? Consider joining us at DREAM! The DREAM Program is doing work throughout Vermont, Boston, and Philadelphia to close the opportunity gap for at-promise children and teens through deep community collaboration and sustained mentoring relationships. DREAMs Summer Enrichment Coordinators create and implement free local summer activities with youth who live in our partner communities.
 
Many children and youth lack access to developmental resources that should be basic rights, and this can be a barrier to achieving their full potential. DREAMs goal is to fill that gap through offering programs and relationships intended to empower youth. We envision a future where every child and teen, regardless of their background, thrives with equitable and sustainable support - breaking systemic barriers. We provide these services to marginalized communities, for youth and families who each have unique backgrounds and lived experiences. Because of this, it is important that incoming staff acknowledge the weight and urgency of incorporating the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging into the services provided by our organization and among our staff teams.
