"I absolutely loved LTC so much that I plan on coming back and doing LTC Advanced and then the next year I hope to become a State Officer or Junior Counselor! You learn so much, meet new people, and get to express yourself in a way that you never could do before. You can be yourself and nobody will judge you, they only encourage you. The whole time you’re there you will feel so comfortable and so at home."

Naomi Maddred - Burlington County Institute of Technology, Westampton

"LTC was a fantastic experience! Each and every single person there was so welcoming and friendly. Each delegate, Junior Counselor and Senior Counselor offered different inspiring stories of how they made changes in their community."

"I had so much fun at LTC! I learned how to communicate effectively and manage my time well. In addition, meal times are very interactive and entertaining; the skits are hilarious and I had so much fun planning our Color Group skit. I made lots of new friends and played games with them. Over all, I had an amazing time at LTC and I’m definitely looking forward to the next one!"

"Attending LTC allowed me to make more connections and friendships with peers, older and younger than me, that I wouldn’t have made at school. This conference showed me how strong of a leader and friend I can be; it made me more confident in myself and encouraged me to leave my comfort zone in order to strengthen my leadership skills. My Color Group got close over the three days due to everyone’s excitement and fun personalities. We all had a fun time and worked well together, building on each others’ differences. Moving forward, I will use my leadership skills that I strengthened during LTC to help my community to become more united. LTC helped me to enhance my public speaking skills and taught me how to work smoothly with people who have other leadership styles and different personalities."

"When joining this program, I didn't know what to expect. However, after only three days, I was welcomed by all of the staff and delegates! I made so many new friendships that I will continue to carry on with me, and this program put a long lasting impact on my heart. Everything we learned throughout the course of these days, is something I will carry back with me to my own school and make a difference. I was able to step out of my comfort zone and do things I never thought I could do. I learned so many new approaches to leadership, and it was all while having fun. LTC is an unforgettable experience, and I will be coming back next year!"

"My experience at LTC Advanced was amazing; it was similar to the first time I went to LTC but different in the best ways. I still got to meet amazing people and build my leadership skills like I did the first time. The difference was I got to connect so much deeper to the people and our classes this time around. At LTC Advanced we worked with a smaller group of kids, but it was just as much fun."

Olivia Lynch - Palmyra High School

"I had the best time while at LTC as a first-time delegate and hope to come back in the future as a Junior Counsleor! I did'nt expect it to be this fun and I met so many new people. Absolutely 10/10 experience "

Roselena Turzani - Highland Park High School
2025, Session 2

"LTC Advanced was truly life-changing. From the minute I arrived, I felt united with a group of passionate, driven student leaders who inspired me every single day. The Green Team was more than just a color group; we became a family. Through workshops like Finding Your Voice and Marketing Your Passion, I refined my leadership style, developed confidence, and learned how to implement meaningful projects in my school and community. From designing real plans for change to cheering until we lost our voices at the LTC Games, and soaking in the energy of the dance, every moment was unforgettable. LTC reminded me that leadership is about connection, service, and action. So, if you’re ready to find your people and push yourself farther than ever before, the Green Team just awaits :)"

Sharika Dhar - Union County Academy for Allied Health Sciences

"LTC was truly one of the best experiences of my life; my Junior Counselor, Senior Counselor, and the other delegates that I lived with all had an instant connection. Besides from them, the people I met were honestly so kind and genuine it really made the entire three days just that much better. The activities, amazing Junior Counselors and the energy and love from everyone there was phenomenal. I hope to become a Junior Counselor so I can relive and be part of the amazing community that LTC truly is!"

Christopher Joyner - Union County Magnet High School
2025, Session 1

"I thought this was one of the best experiences; I gained so much knowledge while attending LTC, and I made really great friends! The atmosphere felt safe, non judgmental, and inclusive, and it was a very positive place to be! Knowing that most Senior Counselors attended LTC as delegates and return every year for LTC, no matter where they live, truly speaks volumes about this program. The classes were informative and creative, the activities were hilarious and so fun! Overall, I would love to come back to this amazing program next year!"

Abby Hollick - Jefferson Township High School
2025, Session 2

"LTC was a great experience; I got so much more out of it than I thought I would have. I didn't think LTC would push me out of my comfort zone or bring me confidence to speak out with free will - but it did. The counselors and staff all made the experience more enjoyable and worth the time. I was glad to have been active the whole day and experience it with newly found friends. I can't wait to hopefully come back next year!"

Bruce Novoa - Cherokee High School
2025, Session 2

"I had a ton of fun at LTC! If you’re thinking about going to LTC, you should because you can’t learn and develop the skills you learn at LTC anywhere else, and the community and environment is overall just really fun!"

Colin Gorman - Cherry Hill High School East
2025, Session 1

"LTC provided an inviting, supportive, and fun environment for me to improve my leadership skills and interact with new people. I came out of LTC as a more confident leader, with so many new friends and countless memories. I enjoyed every moment of LTC from the skits and games, to the workshops, and especially the dance! I will be able to implement everything I learned at LTC, including public speaking skills, planning skills, and how to just let loose and have fun, in my school and daily life. I hope to return to LTC next summer."
