The L.I.T. program prepares youth ages 13-15 for the role as a leader.  Working in our after-school programs and our summer camps, L.I.T.’s learn the ropes of working with school-age children from seasoned YMCA staff.  Teens that are interested in working with young children go through the real life process of applying for a job, including requesting references, filling out a job application, and conducting an interview.  Once accepted into the program they are placed at a site to learn about working with young children.  Over the course of their commitment they develop the necessary skills to work with young children, learn to be a role model, and gain valuable professionalism skills. 

 

If you are interested in our 2006-2007 L.I.T. Program and would like some more information please contact the YMCA at 862-9622 ext 130. Registration is rolling and the program is available throughout the school year.
