LEADERS IN TRAINING Within this program, teens learn leadership, group management skills, child development basics and policies and procedures in relation to working with youth. Interacting with campers and representing the Y requires a certain level of maturity. For this reason, the Fieldwork program is selective. Upon completion of the L.I.T. Training Course, teens will be invited to participate in the fieldwork program. L.I.T.s will be required to follow the Y camp staff dress code: solid pants or shorts; unaltered Y L.I.T. t-shirt; tennis shoes. Female L.I.T.s will be required to wear one-piece bathing suits when applicable. Dress code and behavior expectations will be detailed during the training course. The program is designed so campers enroll in at least one session of fieldwork upon completion of the training course. For the safety of our campers and L.I.T.s, returning L.I.T.s must still enroll in an L.I.T. Training Course in order to be eligible for fieldwork. L.I.T.s may also receive a letter demonstrating their 35 hours of community service for each week of fieldwork that they complete.
