The FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division’s Community Outreach Program will host Teen Academy on Tuesday, October 15. Deadline for submission of completed applications is September 13.
Teen Academy is a one-day hands-on program for rising High School Juniors and Seniors (2024-2025 school year) residing in West Virginia.
The FBI CJIS Division’s Teen Academy program in Clarksburg, WV allows a diverse group of high school students the opportunity to develop leadership skills and to investigate the world of law enforcement. Active explorations of information technology and forensic science grow students’ minds and bodies while age-appropriate lessons on topics such as violence prevention, sextortion, and hoax threats teach them how to stay safe. FBI staff, including special agents, intelligence analysts, and professional staff, lead discussions and interactive sessions focused on the work we do, how we do it, and, most importantly, why we choose this work in service of all Americans.
Any student with an interest in leadership and service is welcome to apply for this free opportunity. An interest in a law enforcement career is not a pre-requisite.
