Community Food Justice: Co-facilitating our weekly pay-what-you-can farmers market along with our campers, to help neighbors access fresh, local food.

Mentorship & Play: Leading songs, reading books, facilitating games, and providing a joyful, uplifting presence for our campers.

Homestead Care: Preparing healthy snacks and assisting with behind-the-scenes work like washing dishes and keeping the space tidy.

Child Support: Helping kids navigate their day with care, including assisting younger campers in the bathroom and helping everyone stay regulated and happy.

Who You Are

We are seeking motivated youth (teens and young adults) who are:

Energetic & Engaged: You have a "ready-for-anything" attitude and love being active outdoors.

Articulate & Poised: You can communicate clearly and professionally with both a five-year-old and their caregivers.

Reliable & Positive: You show up on time with a smile, ready to support your team and your campers.

Our Commitment to Equity: Humble Heart Homestead is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We strongly encourage BIPOC and LGBTQ+ youth to apply. Your perspective and lived experience are vital to our community.
