Summer Opportunities Outside Texas
Sheridan would like to give Texan High School girls the opportunity to participate in other programs we endorse throughout the country.
WASHINGTON WEEK
Washington Week is a leadership program for girls interested in making a global impact.
Hosted by Yuma Center in D.C., rising 10th - 12th graders experience intense seminars of behind-the-scenes discussion with the people working in Washington's greatest institutions. This year’s themes are:
WEEK 1: DOMESTIC POLICY & COMMUNICATIONS
WEEK 2: INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS & HUMAN RIGHTS
COLLEGE PREP
College Prep is a 4 full day workshop for girls rising juniors, seniors, and college freshmen. The program, co-hosted by Bayridge Residence and Cedar Wood Foundation, will walk attendees through the application process, help them perfect their Common App essay, and provide current financial aid tips. It will also give them a chance to hone critical thinking skills in preparation for college life. There will also be work sessions on thriving in college and engaging panel discussions with current college students.
HOSPITALITY INTERNSHIPS
A summer program for high school girls to gain invaluable experience in taking care of people.
Internship Training program teaches professional skills, helps students gain experience in the hospitality industry and home management. Through a variety of classes and hands-on work behind the scenes of Conference Centers, interns learn from the full time Hospitality Staff to provide the Foodservice, Dining room and Lodging services for our guests.
These internships take place at either Shellbourne Conference Center in Indiana or Arnold Hall Conference Center in Massachusetts.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
For students of Lights!Camera!Action! (LCA), media goes beyond the red carpet and Facebook friending. Every summer, college women and high school seniors are brought together for a week-long workshop.
The women of LCA appreciate creativity, not only as expression, but as a vital economic force, a shaper of culture, and an influential agent for progress.
In a media-saturated world, there’s no place like Westfield Residence in Los Angeles to study and reflect on being and believing.
