Hello, guys! I'm a junior interested in politics and I am planning to participate in a summer program next year focused on political studies. However, the only information I am finding is about 'political summer programs for elementary'. It's so frustrating. Does anyone know of any political summer programs for high school students?
Sure, I can suggest a few political summer programs specifically designed for high school students.
1. Stanford University's Summer Arts Institute has a program in International Relations where you can explore political science, international politics, and policy making.
2. The American University in Washington, D.C., offers a Summer Scholars Program with a concentration in Political Action and Public Policy. This would be a great opportunity if you are interested in American politics.
3. Another exciting program is Georgetown University's Summer High School Programs, which offer courses like "U.S. Politics and Government" and "International Relations"
Finally, there's the Junior Statesmen of America (JSA) Summer Programs which provide intense, interactive learning experiences in a variety of political fields. These are held in prestigious universities across the states and offer great exposure to the political scene.
Do a bit of research to find out which program fits your interests and needs the best. Most of these programs run applications through winter and early spring, so you would want to start the process soon.
