This is a program made possible through a partnership with the Council on Alcoholism and Addictions of the Finger Lakes. In this interactive program, parents will walk through a simulated teen bedroom to search for signs of drug/alcohol use. This is a great opportunity to learn about the drug culture and the newest ways kids are concealing paraphernalia. Professionals and other community members will discuss current trends of use and strategies for talking with youth.

Registration is required and space is limited. Register Here

Sign up is first come first serve. Childcare for students ages 5-12 is available.

Attention parents and guardians of current JUNIORS:

The University of Rochester, Laboratory for Laser Energetics (UR LLE) is offering a Summer High School Program.

We are excited to share another excellent opportunity! The New York State Unified Court System is offering High School students and recent graduates the chance to intern with the courts through our Summer Student Aide Internship program.

The mission of the New York State Unified Court System (NYS UCS) is to deliver equal justice under the law and ensure the just, fair, and timely resolution of all matters that come before the courts. The Summer Student Aide Internship offers an invaluable, hands-on opportunity for students to develop a concrete understanding of our government’s Third Branch.

Students will be paired with a judge, gaining insight into court processes, applicable laws, rules, and protocols. They will also explore the diverse careers available within the Judiciary and observe New York State court operations, including the civil, family, and criminal justice systems.

This internship not only provides exposure at the state level but also allows students to understand the collaborative roles of various local agencies that support the NYS Unified Court System. Students will walk away having gained valuable experience through their job assignments while benefiting from training in computer skills, business writing, public speaking, negotiation, and other essential job skills.
