• Our program is year-round (15-months – two consecutive summers and one full school year) so you must be willing to commit to the entire term of this experience
• Applicants must currently be in 8th through 10th grade, and will be in 9th through 11th grade next fall
• Students must live within reach of our sites (Oakland, Richmond, CA, Los Angeles, Detroit, Atlanta, Chicago, and Baltimore) to ensure they can attend after-school programming on time every week during the school year.
• We encourage you to read the questions first, reflect on potential answers, and then submit a well-thought out response.
