Volunteer at Anytown!

Every Anytown session welcomes 50 students and is directed by a staff member of Community Tampa Bay who is assisted by a co-director and up to 25 volunteer counselors (peer-educators) and volunteer advisors (adult role models).

As Anytown is an experiential learning program based on peer modeling, volunteers play an essential role. We focus on education and skill-building to instill cultural competency, behavioral change and a sense of social responsibility in our youth. Therefore our volunteers must exhibit the positive characteristics that will empower our young people to become advocates for inclusion and change agents in their communities.

We are always looking for dynamic, caring and responsible volunteers to join our team. If you believe in respect for diversity, we promise to provide you with an experience that will enrich your life tremendously. Lodging, meals and materials are offered to volunteers at no cost.
All volunteers are screened, interviewed, and provided with training and support.

Requirements

• Anytown volunteers must be willing and able to participate in minimum 1 full residential session, ie. 5 days/4 nights.
• Exhibit integrity, respect for diversity and teamwork
• Demonstrate an excellent sense of responsibility and passion for social justice and youth development.
• Participate in 2 - 3 days of trainings in the months prior to the start of the Anytown season.
