I am currently 16 and a sophomore and I am looking for an internship to do over the summer. Most summer programs I have seen are just about money. I am looking for one that is prestigious and selective. Basically a program that focuses on grades and achievements opposed to cost. I’d prefer internships in PA or anywhere close.
You might want to try your hand at networking directly. Find a doc or prof, contact them directly first by letter (indicating you’ll call to follow up); then keep at it until you get to them; finally, tell them what you want and get 2 or 3 names. Keep doing that and you may find something.
My son is looking for a similar thing in Europe, they are very hard to find. Most paying programs are ridiculously expensive resume builders. We have seen a pretty good program in U Toronto that is somewhat less expensive, he may do it at 17. www.ysp.utoronto.ca
