Late summer programs?

<p>I am currently a junior in high school, and I want to do a summer program over the summer that will be educational and interesting, and also it will look good on applications next year :] But anyways, I am not free until August 6th. All of the programs I have found so far have been in July and I would't be able to go. Do you know any programs that run in August? Thanks for any input.</p>

I’ve learned that erasing this criteria will allow you to consider a lot more programs than you otherwise would.</p>

<p>

There might be one or two you can find by searching the CC archives, but if I were you, I’d try to find a job or volunteer opportunity instead. How long do you have after August 6 before school starts again?</p>

<p>I have about a month, school starts up again in early September.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, I do think you’re right about erasing that criteria…
A volunteer opportunity is a good choice, and I was considering a job, but not many places will hire you for only a month…and I can’t have a job when school is in session</p>

<p>Hm, I would probably find a volunteer position, then. If you did something like political campaign volunteering/interning (2012’s a great year for that!) you might be able to continue that during next school year.</p>
