You must be age 16-18 years old at time of Camp, and demonstrate exceptional maturity and commitment.

You must be able to lift heavy equipment (unless otherwise arranged), follow the direction of coordinators and staff, be willing to learn how to set up each practice space, and move equipment and partitions safely and efficiently. You may also apprentice for sound, roadie the Showcase, learn and play the Rock Camp theme song during assemblies and at the Showcase, assist in instrument instruction, and assist staff in a variety of ways. Recommendation letters and proof of volunteer hours are granted upon satisfactory completion of your assignment.
PHONE INTERVIEW
After we receive your application, we will contact you to schedule a phone interview. Phone interviews can take a few weeks to schedule. If you haven’t heard from us, feel free to check in by emailing us at volunteer@girlsrockhouston.org! All applicants must be interviewed.
CONFIRMATION
As part of the confirmation process, you will be required to fill out and return four documents: Volunteer Agreement, Code of Conduct Agreement, Assumption of Risk and Media Release.
ORIENTATION and TRAINING
It is mandatory for Volunteers to attend the Volunteer Orientation before the camp session. During orientation, we will cover all up to date aspects of running a safe and fun camp, including troubleshooting and what to expect on the first day. This is also a time when volunteers get to know each other and do last minute camp set up! Volunteers who absolutely cannot be present for the orientation need to notify staff ahead of time.
