Help us make camp a reality!

Camp Volunteers

Y'all Rock Carbondale Rock Camp is a program for girls, trans, and gnc youth to rock out. Staff must be mature, responsible adults, pass a basic background check, and be committed to communicating and growing together.

Positions are open to women, trans and gender non conforming individuals 19+. Junior Counselor positions are available to those aged 18.

Camp-week commitments as well as yearlong organizing commitments are realized on a case-by-case basis depending on availability and position applied for.

​Y'all Rock Carbondale recognizes that committing to 5 days of camp can create financial insecurity for some. We offer stipends to adult facilitators who are present for all 5 days of camp.

APPLICANTS ARE EXPECTED TO COMMIT TO:

  • volunteer orientation

  • at least 50% camp-week participation

  • setting up camp

  • breaking down camp

Volunteer Positions

Camp Counselor

A camp counselor mentors one band, in partnership with the band coach. Counselors work to foster collaboration, communication, kindness, support, collective care, respect, and comfort in a non-competitive environment. Counselors must be patient, compassionate, and able to multi-task!

Band Coach

A band coach mentors one band all week and works to foster collaboration and communication among the band, ensures each youth is comfortable on their gear, facilitates songwriting, and preps for a stellar performance.

Instrument instructor

An instrument instructor teaches beginning and/or advanced instruction on one instrument: guitar, bass, keys, drums, or vocals. We teach a rudimentary curriculum with the expectation that every camper has learned at least three chords for the week, can play in time, and understands gear basics (plugging in, tuning, troubleshooting). 

Food Crew

One of the most important jobs at camp- keeping everyone fed! Food crew feeds us lunch and 2 snack throughout the day. They make sure to accommodate everyone’s dietary restrictions and keep the eating/kitchen areas clean.

WOrkshop Leader

We teach a variety of workshops at YRC Camp and are always looking for new ideas. Workshop leaders are expected to create the curriculum and provide a list of materials needed. Full week volunteers may teach workshops but we also welcome outside leaders.
