Hi I’m currently a high school sophomore and I haven’t really been too involved lately.
I have a wide range of interests and was wondering what summer programs are there out there that are interesting and might be able to steer me in the direction of where ever it is I want to go in life. I’m looking for all sorts of programs. I know there’s things like DECE, FBLA, TASP. Also, I’m hoping these programs will look good on college apps or lead to something that might like good on college apps (starting a chapter, new interests that are able to be expanded on.) Thanks!
It would be better if you narrowed it down a bit. What are your general interests or talents. There are thousands of programs. There is a thread about prestigious programs on this forum. You can look on mysummeradvisor.com to find programs in your area. There is an article on that site about summer research programs. These are usually in STEM fields, but there are some in psychology, sociology, etc. Research is always a good experience.

Pick one of your interests and look for opportunities in that area. It doesn’t work well to surf for opportunities and then hope to define your interests around them. Trial and error to determine what you like best is generally done at a much earlier age.
