Be a role model. Make camp possible for every child. Do you believe every child deserves to be fully included at camp? JCC Greater Boston is looking for a caring, patient, and enthusiastic Inclusion Coordinator to join our School Break Camps (December, February, Passover, and April school breaks). Inclusion Coordinators are part of our camp’s Inclusion Team, supervising and coordinating Advocate Camp Counselors, who work directly with campers with disabilities and individualized needs. Guided by ICPs (Individual Camper Plans) and supported by our Inclusion Team, Advocate Counselors partner with co-counselors to ensure that every camper is safe, supported, and fully included in their bunk and camp activities. The Inclusion Coordinator provides expertise and support, modifying ICPs as needed and facilitating communication between camp staff and families of campers receiving support. What you will do each day: Each morning, you’ll connect with camp staff and campers, making sure all feel welcomed and ready for the day.
