About Camp Counselors - The Laurel Foundation

The mission of The Laurel Foundation is to empower children, youth and families affected by HIV/AIDS through educational and support programs in a safe and trusting environment. While HIV/AIDS is often an isolating illness because of negative social stigma and the sickness or loss of a parent, The Laurel Foundation aims to eradicate this isolation through a comprehensive approach, including residential camps, mentorship, life enhancement workshops, ongoing support programs and collaborative partnerships.

The Laurel Foundation is looking for outgoing people with a willingness and desire to play and reside in a rustic mountain setting. Volunteers must have the capacity to work in a team environment and be willing to give their time and energy to help change the lives of children affected by HIV/AIDS.
