A few good questions.
Who is Leadership Training for?
LT is primarily for college students connected to Collegiate churches and campus ministries. Talk with your church or campus ministry leader about which opportunity fits your next step.
What does a summer at LT look like?
At ADK LT and EP LT, students work at YMCA partner sites, live in shared housing, and take part in discipleship, worship, leadership training and community. Work and everyday relationships become places to put faith into practice.
Are the LT application and YMCA job application separate?
Yes. For the YMCA-based programs, acceptance into LT does not guarantee employment. Students also complete the YMCA employment process. Your campus leader can help you understand both steps.
Where can I find dates, costs and application details?
Ask your campus ministry leader or church staff for the current program information before making plans. Dates, fees, employment arrangements and application deadlines vary by location and year.
