<p>so I'm currently a freshman at college and I have been told by many people that hypothetically this will be the last summer I can actually enjoy and do whatever I want before I have to start internship/career furthering summer activities. I would rather take summer classes later on and I want to do something like volunteer or go to an academic camp or something that would look good for grad school/internships. I really want to either volunteer somewhere abroad or just anywhere thats away from my small town. Is there anything like this available for me? And that's not too expensive because I looked at the Washington Internship but I don't really feel like paying $10.000 for that. My major is health science and I think I'm going to specialize in pediatrics and do research with autism. Hopefully that is. Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>If you want to do research in autism you may want to find a summer camp for autistic kids and either volunteer or apply for a job there.</p>
