But it also gives volunteers health care experience, in addition to teaching them empathy and responsibility. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>After hearing how much fun her older brother had as a Camp Munroe volunteer, Lily Sewell knew she wanted to give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"344\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/original-D9BDE004-FDFB-44A7-A525-E6D810B0E92E.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-113979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/original-D9BDE004-FDFB-44A7-A525-E6D810B0E92E.jpeg 344w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/original-D9BDE004-FDFB-44A7-A525-E6D810B0E92E-263x300.jpeg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 344px) 100vw, 344px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lily Sewell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sewell, 15, is in her third summer as a Camp Munroe volunteer. Her twin brother joined, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The camp experience has been \u201cmagical,\u201d she said. Sewell enjoys getting to know campers and seeing their big smiles every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt brings me joy to share this experience with the campers,\u201d she said. \u201cThey teach me so much as well. This experience is unlike any other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sewell typically signs up to volunteer one week per summer. If any drop-in volunteers are needed, she\u2019s eager to help out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Camp Munroe led Sewell to a volunteer opportunity during the school year, too. She helps with TOPSoccer, a recreational sports program for children and adults with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someday, she said, she hopes to work at MMI in a part-time role like her older brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a high school sophomore, Sewell has time to decide on a career path. But she isn\u2019t ruling out anything in the medical field, especially involving kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you walk through these doors, you\u2019re doing something so much bigger,\u201d Sewell said. \u201cThis isn\u2019t for you. This is for the kids, the campers. This is a day they look forward to all year. This is their moment of joy and happiness in the summer. You\u2019re bringing them joy while finding joy yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Jing Wang signed up as a Camp Munroe volunteer about three years ago at the suggestion of her mom, who used to work in the genetics lab.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"902\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_1672-902x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-113981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_1672-902x1024.jpeg 902w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_1672-264x300.jpeg 264w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_1672-768x871.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_1672.jpeg 1047w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jing Wang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Now 17, Wang works part-time as a recreation tech.
