About the Volunteer-in-Training Program
This is a special opportunity for older, experienced campers who show a high level of maturity and commitment to the mission of Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls Los Angeles. It is geared towards those who want to get more involved behind the scenes at camp, develop leadership skills, and transition into becoming a RCGLA volunteer or organizer in the future!
The Volunteer-In-Training Program is for former campers ages 17 – 18.
The V.I.T. role will be tailored to the individual. We will come up with expectations and agreements together. The program focuses on three areas: Mentorship, Leadership, and Technical.
Activities may include:
Assisting instructors during instrument instruction.
Helping coach a band.
Participating in morning and afternoon assembly: camp theme song, yogaerobics, skit-time players, highlights.
Moving equipment and learning about audio engineering.
Working closely with the Music Video Program.
Interviewing the lunchtime performer.
Interacting with campers and being a positive role model for them.
Helping to maintaining a tidy, functional, and inspiring camp environment.
Volunteers-In-Training do not pay tuition.
We will provide Volunteers-In-Training with a light breakfast, hearty lunch, and snacks.
All Volunteers-in-Training will need to be fully vaccinated.
Regarding COVID-19: Camper, staff, and community safety is a top priority. We will be following guidelines from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, and the CDC. Guidelines may change. It is too soon to know now what COVID-19 safety protocols will be required in June.
What we do know now is that full vaccination is required of all volunteers. And we are strongly recommending that all campers eligible for the vaccination receive their final dose at least 2-weeks prior to starting camp. Unvaccinated campers may be required to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
We will provide updates as we get closer to the start of camp.
