JUNIOR counselors
Working as a Summer Arts Program Junior Counselor is an immersive learning opportunity for any 11th or 12th grade student looking to explore a career in education, music, or working with students, or just to enjoy a week of music making! Through a counselor position, you are able to form deep connections with students and other counselors and create memories that will last a lifetime. Summer programming can be an incredibly impactful aspect of a student's life, and we are looking for counselors who take that influence seriously.
Your on-site responsibilities throughout the program will vary. Overall, high school counselors are responsible for ensuring students are punctual and supervising during meals, recreation, and free time.
Junior Counselors should plan to arrive one day before the start of their week for an in-depth training session on leadership, team building, group management, and more. There may be online training sessions prior to arrival on campus. In addition to training, you will have a chance to get to know your fellow counselors, and talk with SAP leadership about your goals for the week.
