| SFC - LEADERS IN TRAINING | |||||||

Do you enjoy working with children? Are you 13 years of age or older? Do you need to complete volunteer hours for school? Are you enthusiastic and energetic? This program provides individuals with hands on insight into being a camp leader. As a volunteer, we ask that individuals commit to 1 continuous week at camp or programs. The main responsibility of the L.I.T. role is to assist camp and program staff with the activities planned for each day. It is recommended volunteers be at least 13 years of age. This is an excellent chance for young people to gain leadership skills, build experience for a resume, work with children and gain positive memories to last a lifetime. Please phone the Memorial Sports Centre 274-4561, ask to speak to Kate Elliott or Megan Ross for further information. |
