Dear 2021 YAC Candidate,
As we release these applications, there is still quite a bit of uncertainty as to WHAT camp will look like this year. We know you have so many questions. Will we be able to meet in person at Camp Mason? Will we be limiting our capacity? Will we be meeting online as we did in 2020? Believe us, we have all of those same questions!
At this point, we just don't know. It is our hope that we are able to gather at Camp Mason in August- but there are many considerations and factors that will impact our safe return to camp. We are preparing behind the scenes as we await further updates regarding camp safety, vaccines, and the overall status of the pandemic. Keeping our LMTI participants, volunteers, and staff safe is, of course, our number one priority, so we are being extremely cautious as we make any decision.
One thing we know for sure is that we cannot have the Summer Leadership Conference, in person or online, without our Youth Advisory Council (YAC). YACs are vital to the success of LMTI, and we can't do this without you! If you enjoyed your experience at LMTI and would like to share what you learned with the 2021 group, we hope you will consider applying to be a YAC-- and sticking with us as we figure out all of the details.
**Please be sure to read every part of this application, as some descriptions (the interview & consent form section) have external links you will need to follow to sign up for your interview and to download consent forms. There is a checklist of steps at
njlmti.org/yac2021 - we recommend you review this, as well!**
Thank you for your patience, and your commitment to LMTI.
Please contact us at
cdonetz@pipnj.org if you have any questions. Best of luck!
The LMTI Staff and the YAC Selection Committee
