The LIT Experience

The LIT Experience is a focused leadership program for teens ages 16–17 who are ready to build practical skills and take on meaningful responsibilities. Participants learn how to communicate effectively, collaborate with peers, and make a positive impact in their communities through guided, real-world activities.
