Are you ready to take the next step in personal growth and leadership? The YMCA’s Leaders In Training (LIT) program is a primarily volunteer-based leadership program for teens who want to build confidence, develop real-world skills, and make a positive impact. Participants support our summer camp programs by assisting staff, engaging with younger campers, and serving as positive role models, all while gaining hands-on leadership experience in a supportive YMCA environment.
Leaders in Training Camp is for teens in grades rising 8th through rising 10th grade.
The LIT program is a hands-on leadership development initiative that focuses on:
• Leadership Skills
• Team Building
• Character Development
