The Greenwich House Youth & Community Center, Counselors in Training (C.I.T.) program gives students the space and resources to develop essential life skills. Joining the C.I.T program is an excellent way of getting a foot in the door and gaining the skills needed to succeed in managing children and the general responsibilities of employment.

Our CIT program is open to Teens in grades 8 through 11. As C.I.T., (Counselors in Training) students will have the opportunity to work with experienced Counselors and Instructors.

Together we focus on developing teamwork and communication skills. The ability to work as a team while also being capable of transparent and open communication is vital to providing a fun and safe environment for all.

It is essential to give back to the communities we are all part of, in the spirit of community-centered values our C.I.T.s will learn how to develop and implement community service projects. Our goal for all C.I.T members is for them to gain a sense of why it is important to be of service and the sense of achievement gained in providing for community needs.
