their personal initiative

their sense of responsibility
-
Develop
their leadership skills
-
Maturity
level must be that of a lead staff (You are not a participant!)
-
Ability
to create and maintain boundaries between themselves and program
participants despite being close in age.
-
Participants will work along side the lead staff to plan, supervise, and
lead all program activities.
-
Be a role
model to youth sports and sports camp participants
-
Work with
lead staff to keep the programs running smoothly
From the
program participants’ perspective, CITs are full staff members and are due the
same attention and respect as all other staff members charged with leading
activities, creating a positive environment, enforcing safety rules, negotiating
interpersonal issues, and serving as roles models. However, due to their age
and minimal to no work experience, CITs are not able to supervise program
participants without another staff member being present (ie. CITs can lead
activities, give instruction etc…- but cannot bear the ultimate responsibility
for participant supervision).
