"About Fresh Air Fund
• THE FRESH AIR FUND, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Nearly 10,000 New York City children enjoy free Fresh Air Fund programs annually. In 2008, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. 3,000 children also attended five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York. The Fund’s year-round camping program serves an additional 2,000 young people each year."
The Fresh Air Fund is now accepting applications for counselors for this coming summer of '09. They hire staff members with a wide range in some pretty amazing fields. They are looking for college-aged men and women who love to work with children. Please click on the news release which explains it all:
