Leaders in Training

🛠️ Continue Their Own Journey

The path of the LIT is never stagnant. While mentoring younger adventurers, LITs continue to deepen their own skills, guild identities, and mythic mastery. Whether refining their Ranger tracking, crafting new Bardic tales, becoming proficient in Voyager orienteering, or learning more in depth ecology as a Mystic,  LITs are still active participants in the mythic world.

They also earn advanced achievements and ritual marks, recognizing their growth as both individuals and leaders.

🌀 Practice Mentorship

Through shadowing mentors, holding gentle authority, and modeling virtues, LITs step into the art of leadership. They learn how to tend the group fire, support the hesitant, guide with humility, and listen like the forest.

Leadership here isn’t about command—it’s about presence, service, awareness, kindness, and respect.

🌿 Hold the Container

LITs help uphold the sacred play of Nature Quest by leading games and activities. They prep story props, spark imaginative quests, hold circles, anchor rhythms, and if participating in LARP, act as Quest Leaders and NPC’s, learning how to create and carry out a Quest. They’re a bridge between the adult mentor and the young learner.

🌱 Why This Matters

Being a Leader in Training is not about perfection. It’s about becoming. It’s about learning how to lead while still learning how to live. It’s about making mistakes, receiving feedback, rising again.

LITs are the living legacy of Nature Quest. They carry the roots of what came before and the seeds of what’s yet to bloom.

🦉 Who They Are Becoming

LITs are:

• Curious students of life and lore
• Steady voices in the chaos of a windy game
• Creators of enchantment and anchors of safety
• Carriers of culture, kindness, and courage

✨ Why It Matters

The LIT program is designed to prepare teens not just for future roles at WildWise—but for life. It builds confidence, character, and a sense of belonging. It gives youth a chance to lead in a real way, while still being supported and guided by caring mentors.

Leadership here isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about showing up, growing through the process, and learning to make a meaningful difference.
