a requirement. While a small stipend is provided, the C.I.T.'s
position is a not a salaried position. It offers an excellent
learning/training opportunity for young people interested
in working with children and learning how to negotiate in
a work environment with peers and adults. While parents can
certainly encourage and support you in this pursuit, it must
be something YOU want to do. As a C.I.T., you will work as
hard as anyone else and sometimes even harder. By the end
of the season you will have had experienced in a work environment,
learned group management skills, received feedback and improved
leadership skills. Besides the training and appreciation from
children and staff, you will receive $50.00 per week for transportation
money. In addition another small stipend may be available
pending availability of a grant
