Volunteer with Camp Agape
Volunteers are the heart of every program we run. Some come to help the grieving. Most leave having healed a little themselves.
Open roles
Find the role that fits you
Camp buddy
Summer Camp — May 31 to June 4, 2026
Paired one-to-one with a camper for the length of camp. You are the steady presence beside them through fishing, the climbing wall, group therapy and the quiet moments in between.
Footprints facilitator
Eight-week session, Thursdays
Lead grief processing workshops with children ages six to fifteen. Facilitators must commit to an entire eight-week session.
Activity and kitchen support
Flexible, on-site during camp
Keep camp running — meals, crafts, waterfront, equine therapy and setup. Perfect if you want to serve without a one-to-one camper assignment.
Administrative volunteer
Year-round, flexible
Help manage the many varied activities required to run our programs. We will work with you to find a position that fits your interests, schedule and availability.
Grief coach or chaplain
Program dependent
Bring professional or pastoral experience alongside our counselors to support campers and families.
Event volunteer
Single-day events
Support the golf tournament, Lights of Love and other fundraisers that keep our programs free for families.

From a volunteer
“I went there to help the grieving on a deeper level; what I did not expect was how healing the experience would be for me.”
