Leaders in Training Program

Leaders in Training

This program will challenge high school youth to develop personal leadership qualities through workshops, seminars, and activities. With sessions on communication, teamwork, professionalism, and goal setting, LiT's will be encouraged to explore and develop their own skills. This program is open to students who will be entering grade 9 to 12 in the 2024 fall school year.

For our LiT II program, participants will be placed in an existing Western Engineering Outreach camp classroom to shadow a mentor instructor and to put their knowledge and experience in action. This shadowing is also supported by daily check-ins and reflections. 

Hours completed during the shadow sessions are eligible to count for high school volunteer hours. 

When is this offered? 

LiT I - Fall 2023.

This course offers an introduction to leadership and behaviour management and empowers students with the tools to be leaders in the classroom and life. 

LiT II - Has been postponed to Summer 2024

This follow-up session to LiT I gives students more experience in developing and leading their own activities and is a great option for those looking to increase their job qualifications. All workshops and activities are different from LiT I. All students are welcome to register for LiT II, regardless of completion of LiT I.

LiT II will run over the summer months. Details to follow soon! 

What is the cost?
