Leaders in Training
Weymouth Recreation offers a rewarding opportunity for young teens in our summer program with an emphasis on personal growth, role modeling and team-building.

Under the guidance of staff, Leaders In Training (LIT's) will actively work with children in our summer programs at Great Esker Park, Pond Meadow Park & Wey-Fun. They will build confidence in themselves while working in front of a group. Independence skills will be practiced by taking on responsibilities and challenges. LIT’s will spend time together in peer groups and work on leadership and performance skills through activity planning, brainstorming and preparation.

All LIT’s will be evaluated on their performance. Time as a LIT is eligible to be counted as community service for Weymouth High School and any other school that they may attend. (up to 35 hours)

Registration is required and starts with the regular registration date.
