The Connecticut Commission for National Service is seeking 18-25 year old students interested in being Student Representatives to the Commission. This is an excellent opportunity to provide input into the design and focus of community service for the State of Connecticut. Volunteers are needed to help by driving support and equipment vehicles, setting up and breaking down camp, and providing medical, communication, technical, and camp services. Each year, approximately 3,000 New York City children from low-income families leave the hot, crowded streets of the city for two weeks of swimming, hiking, and camping at a Fresh Air Fund Camp. Camp offers many of the children their first experience living in the country and enjoying nature.
Staff ensure that the campers' time is safe, fun, and full of adventure.
