Who Wants to Start a Summer Camp?

I am seeking a treasurer and/or secretary to work with me on running a non-profit organization for youth. I have no money yet, so this is a volunteer position for now. As we raise money, however, it will become a paid position. I am incorporating a non-profit organization that will serve youth and their families through day events, and as the funding comes in, through an after-school program and a summer camp that specializes in outdoor adventures and community service. This organization will reach out to all youth, but will have an emphasis on serving emotionally disturbed teens and pre-teens. A big part of this non-profits' belief system is that in the end, nothing is meaningful without God/Jesus... thus, the staff/leadership need to value Jesus' teachings, and be glad to live by Christ's example. At the same time, this organization will be open to all youth regardless of religion, and will not pressure/coerce/or force anyone to participate in any religious activities. If you are interested in working on this project, acknowledging that it will take dedication to make it work, please e-mail me.

    We are working to start a not-for-profit camp for tramatized and emotionally disturbed youth. Our goals for this camp include team building, group dynamics, building self esteem, communication skills, and building concern for others and the world around them. The mediums we hope to use include mountain biking, community service, survival skills, a ropes course, rock climbing, a zip line, horse back riding, animal care, hiking, music, nature, crafts, sports, and more.

    We want to serve youth,without bias for or against any religion, political viewpoint, ethnicity, etc. We want to embody the teachings of Christ, which include concern for others, a non-judgemental attitude, and humility.

    Any contributions would be gladly accepted. We are still working on incorporating, so we cannot give tax deductions. Checks should be mailed to:
    (pending articles of incorporation)
    We will add more and make many clarifications in the weeks to come. If you have any questions, contact
