Quincy Recreation Leaders-in-Training Program
 
Too young for a part-time job, but too old to be a camper? Get a head start on developing important job skills during an active session of learning teamwork and leadership skills.

What is the Leaders-in-Training (L.I.T.) Program?

This summer, Quincy Recreation will offer a Leaders-in-Training (L.I.T.) program for Quincy residents entering grades 9 and 11 in the fall of 2025. This program is designed for those ready to embrace new challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities. Participants in the L.I.T. program will develop essential life skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and communication in a supervised and supportive setting.

The Leaders-In-Training program will provide teens with training and hands-on experience in day-to-day activities at popular Quincy Recreation summer programs, under the supervision of Recreation Staff. While L.I.T.'s are not staff members, they will be treated with the utmost respect and will receive a weekly Performance Evaluation. Please note that participation in this L.I.T. program does NOT guarantee future employment as a staff member.

It is strongly believed that everyone is a leader to some extent.  An individual's actions influence and impact those around them. Because of this, we feel it is important for everyone to understand what is required for good leadership, which is why we are initiating this Leaders-In-Training program.
 
Who should sign up for the Leaders-in-Training (L.I.T.) Program?

The Leaders-In-Training program is designed for individuals entering grades 10 and 11 in the fall of 2025 who are interested in learning about leadership, teamwork, and working with children. L.I.T.'s must be responsible, great with kids, energetic, and enjoy having fun! The L.I.T.'s will assist with the day-to-day activities of summer programs under the direction of the Recreation Department staff.
