Opportunities to do DURING the school year?

<p>Hey guys. </p>

<p>I'm currently a junior in high school and I need some help finding things to do during the school year. I'm hoping to find a program or something to do outside of school. Maybe on the weekends or during the week. I was thinking along the lines of research, volunteer, or internships opportunities. Any suggestions? Thanks! :)</p>

<p>I live in Los Angeles, California.</p>

<p>If you’re into biomedical research, I have a few friends in south Cal doing research with professors at USC and City of Hope. You could try emailing a few PIs to see if they’d be willing to take a high school lab assistant or intern during the school year. There are quite a number of formal programs in the summer that take students, including ones at USC, UCLA, and CoH, but you might be able to work something out with a prof. during the school year.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>
