Staff Application: Kitchen Staff

Responsibilities: Kitchen Staff (K. Staff)

The most important role of every JP staffer is to be a Christian witness in word and deed. Secondly, it is to spend time with the campers, build relationships, and contribute to establishing and maintaining a Christian community. Unlike other staff roles, your role does not allow as much time to interact with the campers attending a JP week. However, your position is very unique in that you have the opportunity to serve those that are serving others in the community.

Specifically, you will be part of a three-person team that is responsible for preparing, serving, and cleaning up for approximately 75 campers and staff each day. You and the team are responsible for dinner on Sunday, breakfast and dinner Monday-Friday, and breakfast on the last day - Saturday. You will be working with a lead Kitchen Staffer who has experience preparing and serving meals for large groups. JP Kitchen Staffers will be lodged with other JP staff.

You will also be responsible for assisting, as needed, with the purchase of supplies for the meals throughout the week. This means that several times a week you will need to shop at local grocery stores, Costco, etc. to secure the ingredients and supplies that your team will need for the week.

JP Kitchen Staff Requirements:

Time commitment: 1 week (Saturday afternoon to the following Saturday morning)
JP Kitchen Staff must have completed 10th grade by the summer.
Due to the needs associated with serving on kitchen staff having a car for 10th and 11th graders is not required.
Anyone serving in this role in 12th grade or older it is required to have a car at camp.
Stipend of $100.00 per week will be provided.

There are many factors involved when placing JP Staff members on a camp week. We take into consideration the JP staff as a team. Determining factors include the strengths of staff members as well as a balance of new and veteran staff members. All week placement dates will be discussed with each staff member to confirm their availability.

You will also be given the opportunity to register to serve with JP for two weeks of camp, provided you have a week break in between the staffing weeks. If you are interested in serving two JP weeks please be sure to indicate that on the application.

The more weeks you are able to check that you are available, the easier it will be to ensure you are placed on a camp week!

Please Note: You may not be guaranteed to staff the week your home church attends. Thank you for understanding!

How did you hear about staffing with JP? *

If you heard about JP from your Youth Pastor or through a JP staffer, please provide us with their name:

Staff Training at the Jeremiah Project is a significant piece of our staffing model. This includes completing training modules online prior to your arrival, as well as in-person training when you arrive on Saturday.

During in-camp training you will hang out and get to know a group of strangers who will quickly become your new JP Staff family. There are late nights together of laughing, talking and getting to know each other and growing together towards God.

You will need to arrive at Staff Training on Saturday by 12:00pm. All staffers MUST attend the entirety of Staff Training and the camp week.

By typing your name below you understand that attending Staff Training is required of you as a JP Staff member.
