NAF Future Ready Scholars at UW-Milwaukee

Summer Camp Design/Build College Counselors (June 5-16, 2023)

Do you like to build things? Are you interested in hands-on construction? Working in the woodshop or makerspace? Making an impact in the community? Working with high school students? If so, apply for the summer college counselor position.

UWM in partnership with NAF, MPS, and MATC will be offering a teen summer design/build camp. College students will work alongside a small cohort of high school students to design, build, and install a community engagement project at the scale of a room-sized pavilion (program to be determined). 

The collegiate counselors will fully participate in the summer camp as both team members and teaching assistants. It is hoped that the selected candidates will help motivate and lead the team through the design-build process, while also assisting the instructors with organizational or administrative tasks. Faculty leads, counselors, and high school students will visit the site, engage with the neighborhood partners, and co-design a project to enhance the community.  

In addition, you will:

Design and build a project with local impact on the community
Engage with hands-on construction
Make connections with architects, engineers, and construction trades partners who design and construct buildings in Milwaukee
Create things in the SARUP fabrication and woodshop facilities 
Develop leadership skills and role model experience

Work is full time during two weeks from 8:30AM-5:00PM, plus an OVERNIGHT stay in the Sandburg Residence halls June 7 – 8 (plus part time the week prior to camp)
Pay is $1600

Eligible to apply: Previous skills in the woodshop preferred. Rising senior UG and graduate students preferred but those with exceptional woodshop skills or camp counselor experience will also be considered.  A Position-of-Trust Criminal Background Check is required for this position.
