Volunteer Philosophy

Volunteers and staff are partners in fulfilling the mission and goals of Camp Fire USA. Each has an equal role that complements each other!

Caring adult and youth volunteers are essential and valuable resources that directly enrich the lives of children through active work in Camp Fire USA.

By working in partnership with staff, volunteers provide our organization with wisdom, perspective, credibility, talent and creativity. Camp Fire USA takes pride in being inclusive and seeks a diverse group of volunteers.
