Taiwanese American Foundation (TAF) 2025 Staff Application
Application for Staff Position (must be at least 18 years of age):
  • Counselor (Sprouts, Juniors, Junior High)
  • Advisor (Youth)
  • Labs member
This form helps place staff for TAF 2025 Summer Conference. Please submit your application by April 4, 2025. Your timely response gives the Program Directors time to better serve the unique needs of this year's staff. Please note that there are limited TAF Staff positions available. We encourage you to consider your answers carefully.

As a Counselor or Advisor, you will play a critical role in ensuring that our campers have a fun, rewarding, and engaging experience at TAF. Together with your co-Counselor/Advisor, you will lead a small group – facilitating discussions and fostering deeper relationships among your campers. Along with the rest of TAF Staff, you’ll be part of a passionate and energetic team dedicated to serving the next generation of leaders. Please note that you are ultimately here to serve your campers and nurture their growth. For applicants who have attended TAF as a camper, the staff experience is a shift from the camper experience, and your Program Directors will be looking for the best individuals that can meet our staff expectations.

As a member of Labs, you will engage in separate Labs programming and support the Summer Conference through media work or work on a personal project of your choice. Labs projects focus on topics that support TAF or the Taiwanese American community.

All staff will need to be available July 26 to August 3, 2025. If you are unsure about your schedule at this time, we still encourage you to submit your application.

This is a 100% volunteer position and TAF is grateful for your desire to serve. Please do not register for TAF until you are notified of your staff application status. We will be sending out a separate link for staff members. Please note that registration fees and travel to TAF are subsidized.
