internships, research and other extracurriculars are there any you know in Turkey or somewhere else in Europe?
i appreciate any ideas!!
Hey there @lvjy!
I don't know of any internships in Turkiye since I don't live there, but I did find these lists to help you find internships:
1. Online/Remote Internships: blog.collegevine.com/remote-internships-for-high-school-students
2. Internship database: info.absoluteinternship.com/apply-now
3. You should also check with local universities/colleges-- many of them offer summer internships to high school students.
Other common, accessible extracurriculars you can do are:
1. Joining/starting a club. Most schools have a club program, so it's likely that you can join one at your school.
2. Get a leadership position in your school-- become a student government officer, lead a club, manage a sports team, etc.
3. Get involved in sports or performing arts.
4. Volunteer, especially over the summer. Libraries, summer camps, and animal shelters are the most common places to accept volunteers in my area, so it might be similar where you live.
5. Submit your work to global or national writing and art awards programs or do STEM competitions in your city.
To keep this community safe and supportive:
tysm!! This is very helpful idk if you can see the question I poster earlier but I have my cv there it'd be awesome if you could give a feedback :))
