LEADERS IN TRAINING (LIT) - Ages 14 +
Our LIT (Leaders-in-Training) Program, is focused on leadership development and growth of spirit, mind, and body. The workshops that you take part in and experiences that you have will change your perspective on who you are and what you are capable of.
Being in the LIT Program means that you are willing to commit yourself to learning and to working hard in order to give yourself the opportunity to grow and develop as an individual. You will learn to step outside of your comfort zone and to challenge yourself. You will gain confidence and learn to use and embrace your strengths.
