Leadership
Workcamp Leaders—setup director, director, and mc—carry out our mission by encouraging, empowering, and supporting the staff team while building strong connections with those in the community.

Each role is a week-long paid position and requires previous leadership experience, familiarity with Workcamps and Group Mission Trips, and acceptance to our Leaders-in-Training program. There is a minimum age requirement of 25.
