Volunteer Opportunities
Camp Aldersgate in Little Rock- Camp Aldersgate continues its dedication to providing year-round social service programs for over 1,700 individuals of all ages and backgrounds. During the summer months, Camp hosts week-long medical-specific camps for children and youth with the following medical conditions: muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, diabetes, cardiac conditions, arthritis, kidney conditions, asthma, oncology, and bleeding disorders. In addition to the medical camps, Camp host two Kota Camps to serve children and youth with special needs that are not covered under the Summer Medical Camps. Kota Camps allow our participants to bring a friend or sibling to camp with them to participate in the programs and activities.Weekend Camps are provided for individuals from August to May. They are offered twice a month for children and youth with special needs. Weekend Camps are separated into three different trails. Each trail is geared toward each camper’s strengths and needs. Volunteers, beginning at age 14, and counselors, beginning at the age of 17, are able to sign up to volunteer or work with the camp's summer and weekend programming. As the brochure for Camp Aldersgate says, " For most of these young people (volunteers), Camp is the place where they discover what it is truly like to give of themselves in the most caring, non-selfish way. Careers are defined, potential is created and, often, a new world is opened to our volunteers and counselors." Go to their website for more information, pictures, videos, and ways to help. We have had students who volunteered here in the past and found it an amazing, life- changing experience. campaldersgate.net
The Badger Booster Club is introducing a new scholarship tied to community service for seniors. The senior who volunteers the most helpful hours each semester will be considered for a $250 scholarship, one per semester. The same person cannot receive both semesters' scholarships. Our Badger Boosters do a fantastic job of stepping in and stepping up when there is work to be done. Thanks to them for wanting to reward our seniors who do the same!
