CITs will have the opportunity to shadow actual counsellors (Monday-Thursday), plan and execute activities, as well as participate in leadership workshops. In addition, they will also have the chance to work on job interview and resume skills, better preparing them for life outside of high school. Many CITs have the opportunity to move upward within our staff to become junior counsellors. Special fieldtrips geared just for them help enhance the fun!
