Learn About Summer Opportunities
Virtual Event- Feb. 1st or Feb. 2nd. For students & parents in 8th-11th grades: We want to help students and families learn about the many interesting opportunities available: part-time jobs, summer programs on college campuses, service work, and more. We will provide more than just a discussion of expensive summer programs. We will share how students can think about their summers with programs that are free or offer scholarships as well as programs geared solely toward first-gen students.
