I-REC

The I-REC program is an abbreviated form of “I RECognize leadership”, an initiative to provide youth with the foundation to excel in job acquisition and performance, as well as active citizenship. The I-REC program has 4 integral values to it: Integrity, Resilience, Excellence and Camaraderie. The I-REC Leader program aims to develop these 4 integral values of leadership in youth, through providing job experience, national certifications, and exclusive opportunities, within a fun, safe and supportive environment.


The I-REC leaders will work directly alongside staff members to deliver the summer camp programming. I-REC leaders will always have a mentor staff member with them and will be encouraged to take a more active role in the program’s leadership as they become more comfortable.
