Leader in Training (LIT) is a leadership program for youth ages 12+ that have a genuine desire to work with children and develop their leadership skills. As a group, LITs will create unforgettable memories and lasting friendships as they work together during programs with HVNA. As individuals, each LIT will grow in confidence, make a difference in kids’ lives, and be on their way to potential employment in the future.

On a daily/weekly basis, LITs will assist with the daily ASP program whether it’s arts, crafts or games for children ranging in ages from 6-12 years, as well as, contribute to ensuring a safe and clean program site. Each LIT will work cooperatively with other LITs, Program Leaders, the Program Coordinator and report directly to the Community Engagement Coordinator.
