To qualify, you must be no younger than 15 nor older than 18 1/2 years of age upon departure, and be mature enough to adjust to the different values, lifestyle and attitudes of a foreign country. You must also be a student in good standing in the upper third of your class or have a B grade average (C for summer programs), be in good health and have excellent character references.Having studied a foreign language is certainly helpful, but not essential.

Environmental Leadership Lab, Hawaii
www.brown.edu/summerThis course is a hands-on investigation of the geological, botanical, coral reef and rainforest communities within the Ahupua'a and their relationships to each other and to human life. The Ahupua’a provides us a venue for exploring traditional Hawaiian culture: language, spirituality, and social systems. It also allows us to identify the aspects of community development that are necessary for successful and sustainable living: leadership, cooperation, collaboration. Understanding the relationship of the Hawaiian people to their land and sea enables us to look broadly at human impact on natural environments.
We will study the history of the Ahupua’a and how it disappeared from Hawaiian life. We will look at the geological processes that formed and continue to shape the island. In addition to studying several major ecological systems on the island and the relationships among them, students will look at the impact of development, global change and the economic pressures on traditional Hawaiian culture and the environment.

Pre-College Summer - Summer Programs for High School Students
Brown's Pre-College summer program is specially designed to expand that tradition to exceptional high school students who desire to challenge themselves both intellectually and emotionally. Our summer classes for high school students and our approach to learning are unique. We have designed our summer program to allow high school students to grow as people and as learners while exploring academic and career paths that may not currently be available to them.
Brown's Pre-College summer program is more than classrooms and laboratories. It's about the true college experience: residential, social and academic. Pre-college students live in our dorms, work with our faculty, and find out what life in the Ivy League is really like.
The core of the Summer@Brown experience is learning the skills you need to succeed in the college environment. With that goal in mind, Brown has developed the College Success Series, a series of lectures and workshops designed to help students network, learn about their choices, and better understand the admissions process at selective colleges from all over the United States. The College Success Series is a unique benefit of attending the Pre-College Summer Program.Seven-week or Mini-Course?

Summer Course
Magdalen College Oxford, England
The Oxford Advanced Studies Program offers a unique experience to all those who take part, students and staff alike. Our students come from a wide range of geographical and cultural backgrounds and this is one of our strengths. Another is the mode of teaching, based on the tutorial system favoured by Oxford and Cambridge Universities: students find the one-to-one teaching particularly helpful, giving them the opportunity to express their ideas and re-inforce the work covered in seminar groups.The course is not simply about academic work and an outstanding feature is the range of visits and activities, organised as part of the course, which lend a cultural dimension to each student’s experience. We encourage our students to give themselves more than a taste of England’s historical and cultural heritage and this inevitably adds to the richness of their month in Oxford.
The course takes place in the beautiful setting of Magdalen College, one of the oldest and most famous colleges of Oxford University. Magdalen was founded in 1458 by William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester and Henry VI’s Chancellor, and it was the first Oxford college to admit undergraduates. It is arguably the most beautiful of all the Oxford colleges with its medieval buildings, peaceful cloisters, famous tower (one of Oxford’s best-known landmarks) and picturesque deer park. Students live in halls of residence adjacent to the college with pleasant single study bedrooms and a common room overlooking the river; teaching takes place within the college walls.Two or three subjects are selected from a wide choice. The nature of the course allows for an informal teaching style; students find this extremely stimulating and they are encouraged to play an active part in the learning process. Individual work and progress is carefully monitored by means of a weekly one-to-one tutorial in each subject. Where requested, we liaise with a student’s school to ensure that the course fits in with specific requirements. Each morning is taken up with academic study with the afternoons and evenings left free for cultural visits, social activities and sports.
There are visits to places of historical interest such as Stonehenge, Stratford and Blenheim Palace and one of the highlights of the course is a medieval banquet held in the vaults of Warwick Castle. Trips to the theatre are organised, including the Royal Shakespeare Theatre at Stratford and one of the West End theatres in London. Oxford, of course, has many of its own attractions and visits take place each week to its magnificent colleges, gardens, galleries and museums. For those wishing to play sport, there are plenty of options, including tennis, soccer, baseball, squash, ice skating, basketball, ultimate frisbee and weights training. Students are introduced to the English summer sport, cricket, and the lawns of Magdalen College are used regularly by those enjoying the traditional game of croquet. The Oxbridge pastime of punting is popular and afternoons are spent on the river perfecting this leisurely pursuit.
Those attending the course are invariably planning to attend a good college or university and will therefore rank well above average. They are intellectually enquiring, independent and able to cope with the unusual and the challenging. Above all they enjoy the opportunity of studying in Oxford and using to advantage all that this great university city can offer.

Young Women’s Political Leadership Program:
July 15-19, 2009 Washington, DC
Application deadline: February 16, 2009The Young Women’s Political Leadership Program encourages high school girls to channel their leadership into politics. Running Start is hosting our second annual program this July to train high school girls in political leadership skills and to plant the seed that they should run for office. Fifty girls chosen for their leadership potential from around the country will come to Washington, DC for this exciting program. The girls are chosen from public, charter and private schools and we pride ourselves on recruiting a diverse group of young women to attend our program. The program is entirely free of charge, and travel scholarships are available.
The program, which takes place at American University over 4 days and 3 nights, allows the participants to meet extraordinary women leaders of diverse backgrounds and to learn about the importance of having more women in political leadership and of running for office themselves. They learn by doing through the highly interactive sessions. By the end of the summer retreat, they will have gained confidence in their own leadership abilities, and be ready to bring their leadership to their schools and communities. The girls learn about political leadership by working with inspirational women leaders, including Congresswomen and other elected officials and leaders in business, media and the law.
The program trains the girls in important skills necessary for political leadership including:
Public Speaking and Presentation: Students will learn how to structure a speech and adjust to an audience, as well as learning and practicing the importance of posture, tone and answering post-speech questions.
Advocacy: Students will learn the art of persuasive speaking and will practice basic debate and advocacy.
Persuasive Writing: Students will learn critical thinking skills that correlate to the kinds of applications necessary in advocacy and politics.
The girls will examine campaign materials, floor speeches, as well as grammatical and literary tactics that are often incorporated into successful persuasive writing.
Campaigning: As a culmination of the program, the students will create a campaign for themselves tying in the aspects learned from the workshops throughout the leadership program, and they will give campaign speeches to the class and their parents.Our goal is to create political leadership programs for high school girls across the US, so that young women can learn the value of political participation and the importance of their leadership in this area.

Southern Connecticut State University -
Summer Educational Opportunity ProgramSouthern CT State University offers a special program for minority students whose educational background has left them under prepared in certain areas for the challenges of university life.
The Summer Educational Opportunity program (SEOP) is designed to help students refine their skills before being accepted into college.
Southern knows that the transition from high school to college is a lot more complicated than simply graduating from one and registering for the other, especially for students who need to build a stronger academic foundation before entering the university.
To make sure the transition goes as smoothly as possible, SCSU offers a special 5-week program called the Summer Educational Opportunity Program, a summer program that allows 50 students to brush up on their skills.How does SEOP Work?
SEOP is designed to give students a real taste of college life. All students live on campus, attend classes, and explore campus life together. Resident advisors and peer counselors are always available to advise and counsel SEOP students and to implement a variety of enrichment activities, both academic and recreational.
SEOP participants enjoy the camaraderie of a cohesive group of students and at the same time, receive a number of academic advantages, including individualized academic counseling, small classes, and personal attention from faculty and staff.How much does SEOP Cost?
Participation in SEOP includes scholarship aid in the form of tuition waiver, textbooks, plus room and board from Sunday evening through Friday afternoon for five weeks.What happens after SEOP?
Upon successful completion of the program, students will be admitted to SCSU for the upcoming Fall semester, and will receive 4 college credits for the study completed during the summer.
We hope that SEOP students will end their summer experience by building a strong foundation for academic achievement and with a new perspective on Southern's vast resources. SEOP students will begin the Fall semester with a close network of peers, with support of faculty and staff, with refined learning skills, and with a new fund of knowledge about college and themselves.For further information please call or write:

PIMMS Summer Institutes
(Project to increase Mastery of Mathematics and Science)
Registration Deadline for PIMMS Summer Institutes: May 17
PIMMS (Project to Increase Mastery of Mathematics and Science) began in 1983 when the organization’s scope was broadened to include science. In the summer of 1984, the first of a continuing series of summer Fellowship programs for teachers was conducted. These two-summer, multi-week institutes were designed to increase the content background of participants, to provide them with new teaching strategies, including the use of technology, and to develop their leadership capabilities so they can extend the impact of their PIMMS experience to their colleagues and educators statewide.

Junior Volunteer Program
Deadline: 4/1 AnnuallyThe Junior Volunteer program gives young people the opportunity to explore careers in healthcare, as well as provide service to our hospital and our patients.
The Junior Volunteers have much to offer, and the program provides the opportunity to learn new skills, develop new interests, and make new friends. If you enjoy the satisfaction that comes from helping others, you will enjoy being part of The William W. Backus Hospital Junior Volunteer Program.
The summer volunteer program is open to high school students.
Applications must be received no later than April 1 for consideration. Each applicant will be notified by mail of his or her interview, which is held in May. Orientation is held the week after school is out. It is necessary that each of the two morning sessions be attended. We ask for a minimum of eight hours a week per Junior Volunteer. Uniforms need to be purchased.
We aim to make this program as meaningful as possible for Junior Volunteers, and encourage particpants to let us know if they are interested in a particular assignment. For example, if someone is interested in a career in Physical Therapy, that person may be placed in the Physical Medicine area. In exchange for transporting patients and running errands, the Junior Volunteer will be able to learn firsthand about this field.
One of the most popular areas is the Pediatric unit. The Junior Volunteers' presence -- plus story reading, drawing, etc. -- augments the hospital staff and is enjoyed by our younger patients.
Junior Volunteers provide service in many department, including Registration, Laboratory, Cafeteria, Medical Records, Same Day Surgery and the Business Office, to name just a few. New Juniors begin their duties as soon as they complete their orientation, and the program can carry on through the fall, winter and spring months, after school on weekdays, weekends, and holidays for those Junior Volunteers accepted.
If you have any questions about our program, please call Mary Rahaim, CAVS Director, Volunteer Services at 860-823-6320.
