Hey everyone, I'm a high school junior looking to gain some experience in my field of interest. Does UCLA offer any internships or summer programs for high school students? If so, how can I apply?
Hello! It's nice to see you taking the initiative to gain experience as a high school student. UCLA indeed offers a range of programs and internships for high school students. Here are a few main categories to be aware of:
1. UCLA Precollege Summer Institutes: These are organized by UCLA and are designed specifically for high school students. They offer a variety of subjects, such as theater, mathematics, architecture, film, etc. To learn more about these institutes and apply, you can visit the UCLA Summer Sessions website and look for Precollege Summer Institutes.
2. Internships in the local area: Although not directly affiliated with UCLA, you can search for internships provided by organizations and companies in the vicinity of UCLA. Websites like LinkedIn and Indeed can be helpful for finding internships. Ensure you specify your search for opportunities applicable to high school students. You can also consider reaching out to organizations directly to ask if they have opportunities for high school students - just be aware that the answer may be no, as some companies require their employees to be 18.
Good luck in your search, and I hope you find a valuable experience that aligns with your interests!
