What does my summer look like? Am I anticipating other summer plans, like vacations, birthdays, summer school, etc?
How far do I want to go? How do I feel about different types of travel, like airplanes? Do I have a REAL ID or passport; if not, am I able to get one?
Am I able to commit to a program's requirements, such as getting travel documents or attending virtual workshops?

JUNIOR program options

You'll receive a survey where you'll have the opportunity to rank your top 2 choices based on your interests and aspirations. You should talk to your mentor and family about the different programs, and share how they align with your goals for the summer. The final trip placement will be determined by Summer Search based on availability. Please note that after Summer Search places you on a trip, your specific course or dates is not guaranteed until you complete the program's application. Be sure to stay on top of the application process and let your mentor know if you have any questions!
