Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteering is the necessary foundation of our programs. Every single person is a volunteer. From our Directors, to our Admins, Mentors, and Camp Staff. Check out our volunteer opportunities below!
Royal Family KIDS Camp fosters resiliency, self-esteem, hope and positive memories. The camp curriculum and activities are woven through the modality of Trust-Based Relational Intervention to ensure our children are experiencing truly life giving activities throughout the 5-day, overnight, experience.
Camp Directors:
Rod Emery: 734-637-2239
Yvonne Emery: 734-890-8828
The Royal Family KIDS mentoring program includes skills mastery, character building, and fun — plus individualized attention from trained adults who are effective role models. Research shows even one school year of commitment makes a difference—and children from the most difficult situations benefit the most from mentoring.
