Summer Volunteer Positions
Teen volunteers play a key role in our summer programs.
Our 2025 Summer Science Camp Counselor and Summer Animal Care positions have already been filled. Please check out Better Impact Volunteer Portal for other summer volunteer opportunities like Discovery Room Docents, or volunteer shifts for special events.
All NDC volunteers MUST complete a volunteer application found here: NDC Volunteer Application Even teens interested in volunteering for summer shifts must fill out this application. After submitting your form, give us 24 hours to process your application. Once you have been approved, you will be able to log in and start signing up for volunteer shifts.
Teens ages 13 to 17 are invited to be assistants at camps for 5 – 10 year olds. Week-long camps are held between June and August. Camp assistants help the teachers and help individual campers with crafts, projects, games, etc. Assistants MUST attend a mandatory training offered in May.
Mandatory training sessions are provided for all Summer Teen Volunteers.
