Counselor In Training (CIT) ProgRam

An internship in Nature Education & Mentoring for Youth

Ages 13 - 17 • San Rafael or TRUCKEE

Do you enjoy working with children outdoors? Are you interested in learning more about nature education, wilderness skills, animal tracking, kayaking and more? Younger campers love having an older tween or teen to connect with and look up to as an example. 

As a CIT, you get to be yourself, while engaging younger children to play, explore, and connect. We will facilitate ways for you to do all of this, while keeping in mind, safety, conflict resolution and inclusion. We will teach you some mentoring tricks as well as help you discover gifts you naturally have that can make you a better counselor.

Benefits

In addition to the satisfaction and fun you receive in giving back to your community, as a CIT, you will receive:

  • Experience in nature connection practices and mentoring skills for self and youth

  • Internship credits to volunteers pursuing careers in youth education
