To volunteer, CITs must be at least 14 year old to work at school sites. Many CITs return year after year, eventually accepting paid Rec-PAC staff positions when they turn 18 years of age.


To become a C.I.T., here is what you need to do:RecPAC Personnel

  1. Select your first choice for a site from the list of schools and centers. Returning CITs have first choice of sites, and while we try to honor site requests, it is not always possible to give everyone their first choice.

  2. Complete, sign (both parent and teen) and return these forms by June 10 via mail or fax:
    • C.I.T. Registration Form – include the appropriate registration fee (check payable to "FCPA")
    • Counselor-in-Training Agreement

  3. Attend an orientation at Poe Middle School in Fairfax on Saturday, June 16, 2007 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.. There is a $60 fee which includes 3 hours of training, a C.I.T. manual, T-shirt and I.D. card. Make checks payable to "FCPA" and return to our office by June 8. Fee waivers for registration are available for Fairfax County residents receiving public assistance. To qualify, applicants must submit a letter from their caseworker certifying eligibility.

  4. New or returning CIT, you must attend this training to be a C.I.T. this summer!
