The YMCA Leaders in Training program is a supervised leadership development program that allows candidates who have completed 6th grade and are not yet 16 years old to develop and enhance their leadership skills. LITs must express interest in interacting with younger children during sports, crafts, nature study, and water activities. Program participants must commit to a minimum of five of the eight weeks of summer camp.
All of our LITs will participate in a well rounded program of leadership development, activity & skills training, conflict resolution strategies, and character education. LITs will be responsible for assisting counselors in leadership roles within various areas of the camp program as well as participating in a diverse set of training sessions.
The goal of the LIT program is to provide many of the 40 Developmental Assets necessary to produce confident youth with the leadership skills to become successful adults. It provides participants with the tools to develop strong communication skills, the ability to work as part of a team, and the ability to act as a positive role model - all qualities that colleges and future employers look for in candidates.
