Colleen Walker, Indy Humane Marketing Coordinator, joined us Thursday to share more about their current job openings. Here’s more from them:

While camper positions are nearly full for IndyHumane’s popular Summer Camp, there are still multiple job openings for the camp’s teen counselors and staff. A variety of positions are available and based on age and interest including Critter Care Staff, Junior Counselors, and Media Camp Counselor. Applications for all summer camp positions are due Friday, April 15.

“The Summer Camp program is one of IndyHumane’s most popular events and activities,” said Beth Riddle, volunteer coordinator. “Our camp counselors learn not only important skills around caring for animals, but also leadership skills, patience, and responsibility.
