Leadership Skills

Leaders-in-Training (LITs) step up within the Trackers community, gaining hands-on leadership experience while learning from mentors and guides. They connect with and inspire younger Trackers under supervision, passing on knowledge from one generation to the next. This blend of learning and leadership sharpens their skills and prepares them to be future mentors.

Expectations

LITs inspire and connect with younger Apprentices in supervised settings. They must always be kind, thoughtful, and adhere to our code of care. Meeting these expectations ensures success in the program and future LIT opportunities. If expectations are not met, participation will be reassessed to maintain a positive environment for all.

Our Team

Our mentoring team includes our top Trackers staff featuring:

• Expertise in mentoring and Trackers skills.
• Low student-to-guide ratio facilitating personal, team-based learning.
• Background checked with First Aid & CPR certification.
• Trained in outdoor safety and the Trackers Earth curriculum.

Our Place

For Apprenticeships, we use buses or vans to journey from Trackers HQ to wilderness locations specific to the day's activity. Our destinations could include Trackers' private 351-acre wildlife park and our 100-acre farm and forest. When the weather calls for it, we might chose to stay closer to home, learning hands-on folk crafts in our art studios and visiting nearby nature parks.
