NOW HIRING FOR SUMMER 2022!!
2022 Counselor-in-Training Program
This year we are excited to once again offer our CIT program for 14 and 15 year olds. This three/four-week long volunteer program gives teenagers the opportunity to assist in our camps. They will be learning about our programs, gaining experience working with children, and learning basic job etiquette skills. The goal of the program is that when they are 16 years old, they can be hired as a Club SciKidz junior counselor. This program also allows them to build their resume and volunteerism, and some schools accept this volunteer opportunity as learning service hours*. (Check with your individual school to see if hours from for-profit organizations count). We accept CIT applications starting in mid-January, do the interview process throughout March and beginning of April, and try to have CITs confirmed by end of April.
