Your teenager will have fun with Leaders in Training.

YMCA Leaders in Training (L.I.T.) is a youth program that offers a combination of free-choice and structured activities for children ages ten to fifteen.

This program is designed to teach and encourage leadership skills in our youth. L.I.T.s will:
 
  • Participate in workshops and experiences to help build their leadership
  • Increase their skills and competencies
  • Build their self-esteem
  • Learn about the needs of our community
  • Develop a positive sense of leadership, identity, values, and confidence

 

The L.I.T. group is the perfect place to learn leadership skills, participate in community events, and build long-lasting friendships.

MEET OUR STAFF

Alexis Gutierrez

I am the School Age Childcare Director. I have been at the YMCA since 2013 and I am really excited for this summer and all the fun that lies ahead. I began my YMCA career in youth sports and have worked in several different departments since then. This summer, we are hoping to give the children an experience of a lifetime and hopefully many fond memories for them to look back on.
