The LIT program is
a job readiness program that prepares and provides high school
students with the opportunity for a hands on work experience as a YMCA Jr. Camp
Counselor.
LIT Training modules include:
•
CPR/First Aid Certification
•
Leadership Development
•
Resume Workshop
•
Interview skills
•
Youth Development
•
Basic Supervision and more…
Once trained they are
eligible to participate in LIT Placement where they work side by side with a
camp staff and receive up to 40 hrs. of community service per week
worked. Through this program students gain valuable work experience that
can open up doors for jobs at the YMCA- Many of our LIT’s who stay in Chula
Vista for College receive after-school youth leader positions.
Although there is a cost for
the program there is value gained with the work experience and trainings
modules offered. If eligible scholarships are available.
