The Junior Intern program is available to Middle and High School students as an incredible youth leadership development, volunteer, and career/college preparedness opportunity at Trees Atlanta. Our Junior Interns work directly with campers, assisting camp staff with program facilitation, as well as various daily camp tasks and responsibilities. This program is the perfect opportunity for teens and past campers to engage with our organization on a deeper level, taking on a higher degree of responsibility at camp as they make new friends and develop useful skills along the way.

Junior Interns volunteer for two weeks of camp between the hours of 7:45 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. during the months of June and/or July 2026. Each camp day comprises 7 hours of service, and interns will be assigned to an age group based on logistical considerations and the needs of camp staff. This is an active volunteer opportunity for students who enjoy the outdoors and desire to engage in environmental stewardship through service and support of their younger peers.
