About Junior Volunteering
Only 75 Junior Volunteer Spots are available for our 2025 VBS: TRUE NORTH.
- 25 Assistant Crew Leaders (Open to Incoming 7th and 8th Graders)
- 25 Crew Leaders (Open to Incoming 8th and 9th Graders)
- 25 Station Leaders (Open Incoming High Schoolers)
Volunteers are expected to serve for the full two weeks of camp, from 9:00am through 2:00pm, Monday, June 16 through Friday, June 27, 2025. Junior Volunteers may also stay to assist with AfterCamp at no additional charge.
A registration fee of $100 plus a donation of a box of snacks, chips, or juice boxes (i.e. Capri Sun, etc) is asked of all selected volunteers. The fee helps cover the cost of each volunteer’s daily hot lunch, snack, volunteer t-shirt, and other camp giveaways. Upon selection as a volunteer, an invoice will be sent to the primary parent email address listed on the application.
Per the latest update of the Archdiocese of Miami Safe Environment Requirements for Volunteer Roles (February 2025), minors volunteering as camp counselors are subject to a fingerprint background screening and must fulfill the requirement prior to the start of their volunteer role. Fingerprinting instructions will be provided to all selected volunteers.
Application Process
VBS Volunteers will be selected through an application process. The form will be available starting Tuesday, March 11th and will remain open through Thursday, March 20th or until a sufficient pool of applications have been received to begin the selection process. Prospective volunteers are encouraged to fill out the form as soon as possible, but an earlier entry does not affect consideration. Volunteer spots are not available on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the application window closes, applications will be reviewed impartially and selections will be made.
Note to parents: though you are encouraged to assist the students in filling out the application, please do not fill it out for them. Part of the selection process for camp volunteers is demonstrating personal responsibility!
Volunteer Selection and Wait-List
Volunteers selected to serve at VBS will be notified by email no later than Friday, March 28th and will need to confirm their participation.
Applicants not initially selected will be placed on a waitlist and will be notified individually if a new volunteer spot should become available leading up to the camp. Wait-list selections are made based on the spot/role that becomes available so we cannot provide any updates on where a particular applicant may be on the list or on their chances of being invited to participate.
