2026 Summer Associate- Youth Program with Girl Scouts
 
 
 
This role offers a dynamic, hands-on experience that blends direct youth engagement with program development in a nonprofit setting. During the first half of the program, the AmeriCorps VISTA Summer Associate will serve at our overnight summer camp (Conowingo) after completing Girl Scout training. In this role, they will lead and facilitate activities such as nature exploration, arts and crafts, STEM programming, sports, etc. They will support campers with daily routines, foster a safe and inclusive environment, and contribute to building a positive and supportive camp community. Housing available (optional) during the camp portion. As part of this experience, the associate will develop and pilot at least one new youth program or camp activity that can be used in future Girl Scout programs. To accomplish this, they will observe current programming, research best practices, draft a plan, test it with participants, gather feedback, and document the final activity for future use. During the second half of the term, the associate will transition to a program-focused role at the Girl Scouts of Central Maryland headquarters (Baltimore City). In this phase, they will assist with program planning, curriculum development, logistics coordination, and member recruitment and retention efforts. There may also be opportunities to support the on-site execution of Girl Scout programs and events. This position provides valuable, hands-on experience in youth development, program design, nonprofit operations, and community engagement. This is a unique opportunity to spend part of your summer outdoors at camp while also gaining professional experience in a nonprofit office setting.
