Our friends at the Stanford Neurodiversity Project are recruiting dedicated undergraduate and graduate students who are passionate about neurodiversity, community service, advocacy, and have great organizational skills, to serve as camp leaders for both SNP-REACH and our pilot program, SNP-BRIDGE!
2026 Program Dates
- SNP-BRIDGE: June 15 – June 26, 2026 (HYBRID)
- SNP-REACH Cohort #1: July 6 – July 17, 2026 (HYBRID)
- SNP-REACH Cohort #2: July 20 – July 31, 2026 (IN-PERSON)
Position Details
Commitment is about 1-2 hours/week in the Spring and early Summer and 6-8 hours/day during camp. Camp leaders will be paid $23.75 per hour during the training, preparation, and execution of the program. We prefer current college juniors and above, including post-bacc and graduate students, to serve as counselors for SNP-BRIDGE. Those able to come in person will also be preferred.
Camp leaders lead campers in group projects of their choice using the design thinking approach. Students learn about neurodiversity from professors, researchers, clinicians, and neurodivergent student advocates. Through the design thinking process, campers then collaborate on neurodiversity advocacy projects that often continue beyond the program. Past projects are varied and include children’s books written and published as a part of their camp project, videos educating teachers and parents about neurodiversity.
To apply, please see the application here. The deadline for applying for this opportunity is January 23, 2026. Please reach out to us at snp-reach-oc@stanford.edu if you have any further questions.
About the Programs
SNP-REACH
SNP-REACH (Stanford Neurodiversity Project – Research, Education, and Advocacy Camp for High Schoolers) is a two-week summer camp on neurodiversity for high schoolers and will be in its 7th year. Last summer, 140 high school students were selected from almost 400 applications, representing students from all over California, the United States, and several countries in Asia, South America, and Europe. At this camp, students have a variety of opportunities, from learning more about neurodiversity advocacy to the strengths-based model to universal design principles and more. For more details on SNP-REACH, please see the website here.
SNP-Bridge
This year, the Stanford Neurodiversity Project is piloting SNP-BRIDGE (Stanford Neurodiversity Project- Building Resources for Independent Development, Growth, & Empowerment): a two-week summer program for college-bound and early college students to maximize their potential in college and engage in neurodiversity advocacy. For more details on SNP-BRIDGE, please see the website here.
