Why Our Program is Unique
The Leadership Internship for Teens (LIT!) program is for teens in grades 9-12. This program provides teens a unique experience to challenge themselves through learning, research, individualized work and team collaboration, project management, and program development.
LIT! prepares teens for the challenging transition to adulthood by providing them with a substantial amount of independence and all of the decision-making that goes with it. Our program teaches teens the fundamental skills they need to thrive in various life situations including colleges and universities, in the workforce, while away at school, and as leaders in their families, communities, and the world.
We teach teens to find solutions by permitting them to make their own choices, assess the outcomes of those choices, and receive constant feedback and coaching support from our team of Leadership Facilitators. In addition, everyone has an opportunity to lead and everyone has an opportunity to follow, while learning life changing skills, both independently and as part of a group.
LIT! is a comprehensive and complete experience that provides teens with the tools they need to obtain success in college and beyond.
