Summer Opportunities

The College/Career Center has a wealth of information on Summer Opportunities available to TJ students, including internships, jobs, camps, volunteering, etc. In addition to science and technology, areas of interest include politics, adventure, fine arts, and many others. We maintain a file cabinet with brochures and applications as well as bulletin boards where opportunities are posted regularly. In addition, we keep a binder of comments and reviews by current TJ students of their previous summer's experience.

PLEASE NOTE: This website is updated as new dates and materials become available. If a program has a date from last year, please check the web link for that program directly to see if current dates have been released.

We encourage our student to stop by regularly and see what's available. We also invite parents to call (703) 750-8377 and make an appointment.
