Leaders-in-Training

The Leaders-in-Training (LIT) program is a unique opportunity to develop leadership skills within a camp environment—all while surrounded by the extraordinary art and resources the AGO offers. This two-week program builds confidence while you learn personal and professional skills, along with a behind the scenes look at some of the more exclusive areas of the gallery.

In week one, you’ll spend time learning from experienced AGO staff including our Education & Programming, Curatorial, Conservation and Facilities teams. We'll cover topics such as teamwork, conflict resolution, diversity, equity and inclusion, problem solving and self-care, while also visiting off limit spaces and departments not accessible to the public. In week two, you'll get hands-on experience during placements in our camps, engaging with campers and learning from our Art Instructors and Camp Counsellors. Participants will also have the chance to make their own art during the session, lead games within the camps, and learn about the current exhibitions in the gallery. The LIT program is a great way to start building your resume and learn how to meet responsibilities in a supportive and creative environment.
