This elite group of local philanthropists is an alliance of successful, community-minded individuals and business leaders who invest $1,000 or more annually. By making these generous gifts, society members support our mission to create a world without burns, take an active role in our success and make sure no family suffers through the pain of a burn.

Volunteering

VOLUNTEERS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Volunteers have the power to tackle society’s greatest challenges, to build stronger communities and be a force that transforms the world. Volunteers are the backbones of our work and together, we prevent burns and empower burn survivors!
Want to share your time, talents, and voice to change Pennsylvania?

There are several ways to volunteer for the Burn Prevention Network

 

CAMP SUSQUEHANNA VOLUNTEERS
Burn Prevention Network is proud to offer year-round programming for youth burn survivors ages 7-17. The Camp Susquehanna volunteers make sure our students are supported, connected to one another, and learning resiliency skills.

Any volunteers who have direct contact with children must complete full applications with child abuse and criminal background checks as well as go through Trauma Informed Care training.

We have many types of Camp Susquehanna volunteers including:

–        Packers who label, organize, inventory, and move camp supplies.

–        Camp Counselors who stay in the camper cabins and lead their group through activities.

–        Fun Squad who come up with fun activities that teach the core dimensions of resiliency.

–        Psycho/Social Team who make recommendations on mental health issues and trauma informed practices. Members of this team must have mental health training and experience.

 

PREVENTION PROGRAM VOLUNTEERS
Burn Prevention Network is one of the national leaders in burn prevention programming.  We offer a full array of programs that help prevent burns in preschool children, school age children and families.  Prevention Program Volunteers operate our Home Safe Home Young Adventurers Club, packing and shipping out prevention materials to parents of preschool children. They also follow up with school principals and teachers across Pennsylvania to answer questions about our curriculum and make sure they are using it in their classroom.
