Event Planning Committees

Amici is always looking for talented people to get involved in the planning of our events. Joining an Amici event committee is a great way to have fun, be part of a team and make a difference for kids this summer!

Types of Roles:

  • Prizes, Sponsors, Donations
  • Registration and Ticket/Table Sales
  • Public Relations
  • Logistics
  • Volunteer coordination
  • Marketing and graphic design

Time Commitment: Most event committees start work several months before the event, with regular meetings and/or conference calls every few weeks, becoming more frequent as the event approaches.

Campership Committee

Campership Committee members perform reference checks for new camper applicants and make recommendations for support to the Program Manager.

Time Commitment: This committee runs each year from January through the summer. The committee typically meets 1-2 times as a group. Each committee member is also responsible for several new camper reference checks, and mentoring new camper families. These are completed by each volunteer on his/her own time.
