The Joy of Volunteering

A Fun and Rewarding Summer at Westview

Volunteering at Westview Summer Camp can be an incredibly rewarding and fun experience. Enthusiastic and engaged volunteers help to motivate our kids to stay focused on the activities and help to create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for all Wildcats campers.

Volunteers take on the role of instructional assistants in the classroom during summer sessions Last summer, we had 96 volunteers provide over 3000 hours of support at Westview Summer Camp These teens came to Westview from Houston area high schools and local philanthropic organizations, such as the National Charity League. Our volunteers showed up daily with good attitudes, positive energy, and most importantly a willingness to help. Getting to know Westview and our amazing students made quite an impact on these Houston area teens.

I absolutely loved being able to volunteer at Westview last summer. Not only is it incredibly well run and organized, making volunteers feel like they have a clear purpose, but being able to create relationships with the kids is so special. I enjoyed getting to know each child’s unique personality, and would definitely recommend it to other teenagers.

As we prepare for this year's summer camp, we are once again looking for volunteers for both summer sessions to help give our campers a safe and memorable summer where they can learn, grow, and have a lot of fun!

Volunteering at Westview has been a really special experience. I have gained lot of knowledge, appreciation, and fun memories. I became really invested in the kids and was happy and ready to go back every morning! I think it is a great opportunity for teenagers to do over the summer.

Volunteers must be 14+ and must be able to commit to a minimum of one full week of camp. Many volunteers choose to do more. If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering at Westview Summer Camp, scan the QR code to access the interest form
