About this Course

Since 1982, the Leaders in Training (LIT) program has been helping youth in Nanaimo learn basic job skills and become volunteer leaders in the community. Leaders in Training participants receive training about what it means to be a leader and have a job, as well as how to work with children. After completing their orientation, they will attend 'LIT University' and delve into the specifics of leading games, working as a team, painting faces/making balloon animals, and basic resume writing. Once they have completed training, LIT's will choose from a variety of placement options around Nanaimo and will volunteer between 50 and 90 hours. Participants MUST be in grade 8 in September 2020 and be 13 (by December 31st, 2020) - no exceptions. Please bring a lunch on October 17th and ensure you register for the 4 'LIT University' workshops. LIT's will attend placement sign up on Friday October 23rd from 6:30-8pm at Nanaimo Aquatic Centre .
