Becoming an AnyTown Volunteer
Anytown Arizona prides itself in the countless of volunteers whom have shared their time, talents, enthusiasm and energy throughout the years; without our volunteers, Anytown would not exist!
Volunteer opportunities vary depending on the time of year and the programs we offer. During the school year we work with many middle school and high schools to provide ½ day or full day events, workshops, overnight retreats, and multiple day events. In the summer, however, our volunteers staff our flagship leadership programs, Anytown and Anytown Jr. camps which take place at the Anytown Camp and Conference Center in Prescott, AZ. In addition, we are now actively working with college students through our year-round Collegiate Conferences. So, depending on the level of interest and engagement, volunteers can serve in the following ways:
Counselors
Counselors-in-Training
Advisors
Camp Directors
Directors-in-Training
Facilitators
Trainers
Motivational Speakers
Mentors
Fundraising
Curriculum Development
Marketing
Special Events
Administrative Support
