My Nonprofit Reviews

My two years participating in Unicamp have been absolutely amazing. Last year, when I was a counselor, I really admired how the program was run; everything about camp was being taken care of by my Leadership; whether it was making sure we were trained, making sure we, as volunteers, were getting along with one another, making sure all of our paperwork was turned in. They really did a good job making sure the volunteers were prepared for camp, which ultimately resulted in an amazing week up at camp for me and the rest of the volunteers. This inspired me to become more involved in the organization, and so I applied to be on Leadership for the 09-10 year. I got it, and I fell in love with the organization even more. Being on Leadership was an entirely different, but just as fantastic experience. Leadership is also trained by the program directors; training us to become experienced enough to train our volunteers. The thing I appreciate about UCLA Unicamp is the hierarchy of support there is. The campers are the volunteers' responsibility, the volunteers are leadership's responsibility, and the members of leadership are the program director's responsibility. The hierarchy continues, but what I earnestly appreciate about the program is this hierarchy, this continuum of support in the case that any one person, camper or volunteer, needs anything. All in all, this organization is the most well run organization I have been a part of. I have been in many other volunteer organizations, and there is definitely a reason why UCLA Unicamp has a rich, long-standing history of 75 years.
