Counselors
Counselors typically live in the bunks with the campers, instruct activities, and supervise the daily operations of Camp. We look for staff aged 21+ who are flexible and compassionate, and ready to share their skills and passions with the campers. Being a counselor at Seeds of Peace requires a love for working with young people, a deep commitment to adolescent development, the ability to work as a team player, and the desire to foster a supportive and empowering environment.
Dialogue Facilitators
Facilitators at Seeds of Peace are responsible for the Camp’s Dialogue Program. Their job is to run the daily small-group dialogue sessions, participate in regular meetings to plan and debrief these sessions, and monitor the progress of their dialogue groups. The ideal candidate is dynamic and thoughtful, and has experience engaging in and leading conversations around identity and social conflict with youth.
Residential Life Coordinator
The Residential Life Coordinator hires, trains, and manages the team of counselors who are responsible for the campers’ day-to-day needs. The Coordinator also supports all residential life activities to make Camp comfortable, safe, and inclusive for all campers.
Dialogue Coordinator
The Dialogue Coordinator outlines a dialogue curriculum specifically for our youth campers, and then hires, trains, and manages the team of Dialogue Facilitators on Camp in implementing this curriculum.
Our unique summer program offers opportunities for intellectual and personal growth far beyond any ordinary job.
Seeds of Peace develops courageous leaders who work in solidarity across lines of difference to create more just and inclusive societies.
Our Camp is the flagship initiative in our youth leadership programming portfolio. By joining our Camp staff, you are joining a global community of changemakers and educators.
As a member of Camp staff, you will work as an educator, mentor and role model to supervise and engage with young people as they embark on an enriching dialogue and leadership development program.
Staff are role models in solidarity across lines of difference, and come together to support our youth as they continue to grow into leaders dedicated to justice and equity. Through our four pillars, we seek to create a better world, together:
- Community-building (through shared activities such as creative arts, sports, and evening activities)
- Action-taking
- Dialogue (through facilitated courageous conversations with youth of different backgrounds and views)
- Leadership development (through frequent opportunity for camper-led programming and reflection at Camp)
All Camp staff must be at least 21 years old.
Our staff must not only be eager and ready to carry out their roles supporting youth at all hours, but also kind, caring, creative, and flexible people. Our Camp program will serve youth of different racial, religious, economic, and political backgrounds from the Middle East, South Asia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. We are committed to creating an inclusive Camp community in which youth see themselves represented in staff with similarly diverse backgrounds so that together, we can live out our mission.
We believe that our camp environment is strengthened by the diversity of staff and of campers, and we welcome you to read the details below and apply to join us!
We realize that members of historically marginalized communities may not have had the exact experiences listed in the job posting. We encourage you to apply even if you are not sure if your qualifications are the right fit, and share your story with us.
We can work with your university to provide academic credit, or to set up an internship or practicum opportunity, and will do our best to connect you with potential external funding opportunities in addition to the compensation listed with each position. Working with youth and other like-minded educators who are passionate about social justice can certainly help prepare you for other life and career experiences, and can help you build connections that can last a lifetime.
All room and board expenses are covered by Seeds of Peace. Meals throughout the summer will be provided. Transportation to Camp is arranged or reimbursed by Seeds of Peace.
