Our 2025-2026 Program

We are thrilled to offer an outstanding opportunity for youth: a federally-funded world language & career exploration program for high school students, including current 8th graders. The program, valued at $5,000 per student, is fully funded by a federal grant and thus free of charge. The program stands out among other summer programs in this area, as it is one of the few that focuses on global awareness, cultural diversity, and public service. 

This program integrates Chinese language learning with interactive career exploration sessions led by experts in the global economy, international affairs, and cybersecurity. Participants will also gain insights from a former U.S. ambassador and foreign policy advisor who previously served on the National Security Council at the White House—a truly unique experience! 

Volunteer Opportunities

Our program is President’s Volunteer Service Award certified. Students with prior Chinese language experience can volunteer during the summer program and earn hours that qualify for this prestigious award.

Benefits for Participants

Students who successfully complete the program will receive a certificate of achievement, which can enhance college applications for programs in public service, international affairs, business, economics, and STEM.
