EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The FBI El Paso Field Office is looking for teenagers who want to make a difference and learn more about what the law-enforcement agency does.
FBI El Paso is looking for high-school students to apply to attend the annual summer Teen Academy here in El Paso.
The application, release form and a supporting essay must be received by the El Paso Field Office by 5 p.m. May 16.
To attend you must be in ninth through 12th grade, attending an accredited high school (public, private or home school).
“Participating in the FBI El Paso Teen Academy is an exciting and unique opportunity for
students who are passionate about making a difference in their communities and our nation,”
said John Morales, FBI El Paso special agent in charge. “As the future leaders and
changemakers, today’s teens have an amazing, firsthand opportunity to step inside the world
of the FBI and explore how they can be part of something greater — protecting the American
people and upholding the U.S. Constitution. This immersive experience not only introduces
students to real-world, multi-disciplinary career paths in federal law enforcement, but also
inspires them to develop leadership, integrity, and a strong sense of civic duty. If you’re driven
by purpose bigger than yourself, a burning desire to protect your community and curious about
how the FBI serves our nation, the Teen Academy is your first step toward an impactful and
rewarding future.”
The FBI Teen Academy provides an opportunity for high-school students to catch a glimpse behind the scenes of the FBI and give participants a greater understanding of the FBI’s mission.
The FBI hires from all academic backgrounds, not just criminal justice, the organization said.
