Opportunities for Teens
CLICK ICONS BELOW TO LEARN MORE ABOUT EACH CATEGORY WE HIGHLIGHT
Arts
Explore your creativity and express yourself through the mediums of visual art, design, writing, music, dance, theater, animation, film…the sky’s the limit.
Sports
Whether you’re a fierce competitor, weekend warrior, or just interested in a fun new way to get your exercise, there’s a world of sport waiting for you.
Jobs
A part-time job does more than put money in your pocket. It’s the first real step toward adulthood and greater independence. It can also help you focus on the kind of job you ultimately want—and the education it will take to get it.
Tech/STEM
If you think creating a new app or building a robot is cool, you’re right. And you’re not the only one: between 2017 and 2027, jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math are expected to grow by 13%. Time to join the geek squad!
Summer Camps
Camp isn’t just for little kids. Teen summer camps are a great way to expand your horizons, immerse yourself in learning new skills, and gain teamwork and leadership experience.
Tutoring/Mentoring
Everyone can use a little extra guidance. Whether you’re struggling in school, need an extra push, or are looking to crush your next math exam, tutoring programs can prep you for academic success. And here’s a pro tip: Successful individuals seek insight and advice from people who’ve been there, done that, and are willing to share what they’ve learned. Find mentors who can help you on your own journey.
Internship
Take a look here for opportunities to explore a career, gain real-world work experience, and make connections that can give you a leg up after graduation.
Volunteerism
Life is better when you give back and pay it forward. Start here to help make the world a better place, and volunteer for a cause or community organization you care about.
