CITs play a vital role at Safety Town. They serve as teachers, friends, big brothers and sisters, mentors and positive role models to inquisitive and eager students. Many CITs were once Safety Town campers themselves. They develop welcoming relationships with their students and many look forward to returning to Safety Town each summer for a rewarding experience.
For more information regarding CITs, please contact Anne Gould, Volunteer Coordinator, Anne@sbsafetytown.org. Applications forms must be mailed to the address listed on the applications. (Please do not send completed applications electronically.) Thank you.
