Counselor in Training (CIT) Program for Teens
The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program offers high school juniors and seniors a valuable leadership opportunity within our summer art camps for elementary students. Participants in the program take on key responsibilities such as assisting instructors, leading activities, and mentoring younger campers. This experience provides CITs with essential skills in communication, problem-solving, and responsibility, all while fostering a creative and supportive environment. For every elementary camp they support, CITs receive one free enrollment in a teen art camp, allowing them to continue developing their own artistic abilities. The CIT program is designed to cultivate leadership experience and provide a meaningful stepping stone for teens as they prepare for future educational and career paths.

"Cultivate has been a game-changer for me. Before, art was just something I did on the side, but the classes and community here have helped me see it as something more—like a future. The teachers are so nice and know so much, and the workshops have helped my technique and think more about my work. It's so much more than just a place to make art, it's where I've found friends and my direction."

"As a parent, finding meaningful experiences for my teenager is always a priority, and Cultivate has exceeded all expectations. The skill-building classes have not only nurtured my child's artistic talent but have also instilled a sense of discipline, creativity, and community engagement that I've seen spill over into other aspects of their life.
I'm so thankful for the positive impact Cultivate has had, and we look forward to many more sessions."
