Please note: The Leaders in Training program will not run in 2021.
The Leaders in Training (LIT) program is for youth (ages 13-17) to develop leadership skills and gain valuable volunteering experience while having fun with children. It allows youth to give back to their community and earn leadership or volunteer hours for school too.
A Leader In Training (LIT) volunteers with City of Edmonton recreation leaders to run summer programs for children.
