Looking for a summer job that will make a difference?

Since 1877, The Fresh Air Fund has provided free summer programs to more than 1.8 million New York City children from underserved communities. Every summer, over 3,000 children visit our six sleepaway camps in upstate New York to learn about the outdoors, make new friends and unlock their limitless potential.

The Fresh Air Fund hires over 500 staff members from around the world to work at our camps. Fresh Air Fund staff are a group of diverse, motivated and dedicated individuals who share a passion for working with children. They come from different states, countries, colleges and backgrounds to have a fun, challenging summer and give our campers the experience of a lifetime. Fresh Air Fund staff are current and future educators, advocates and mentors, and will have a wide range of responsibilities while working at camp. Our staff develop skills such as teamwork, resiliency, patience and confidence, which can be applied to any future career path.

All positions are paid and include housing, food and transportation to and from NYC. We are happy to assist students who want internship credit for their time at camp.
