College Preparation-Political?

Hey guys so I’m a junior at a public school from a small state (Hawaii). I want to develop a “political hook” for college but there’s barely anything I can do in my state since we don’t even have boy states here. Do you guys know if there is any national or academic programs during the summer or contests I can apply for? (leadership programs, national youth leadership forum, TASP, etc.) It would be a great help, thanks.

Maybe getting a internship with your state senator. If you do, they might also write a rec for you.

I know that American University offers classes over the summer. It’s in Washington, D.C.

Thanks guys. I’m currently internship for a local representative but I feel that this wouldn’t augment my resume as much as I’d like it to.
