Leaders In Training (LIT)
Program (year round)
Ages 16-17
Starts with two 4-week sessions offered throughout the summer
The LIT program offers an opportunity for a select group of young leaders to enter our first ever year round program. The program starts at camp with a 4-week program with a group of 16-17 year old teens seeking hands-on leadership skills development and potential future employment with Agassiz. Each candidate is required to apply for the position and is interviewed prior to their selection.
Once the LIT’s have completed their 4-week program at the summer camp, they will then be involved in workshops and meetings once a month. These workshops will range from career and college readiness, financial literacy, conversations with established working professionals as well as leadership and SEL focused work.
