Ballotpedia is excited to announce that applications are now open for the Summer 2025 Fellows Program, a remote, flexible volunteer opportunity for students to engage with American politics while building research experience and supporting informed voting.
As a trusted, nonpartisan encyclopedia of American politics, Ballotpedia provides reliable, unbiased information to millions of voters each year. Through the Fellows Program, students contribute to this mission by researching local candidates and expanding access to essential information.

The program runs from Monday, July 14 through Friday, September 12, 2025, and requires a commitment of 5 to 10 hours per week, scheduled at the participant’s convenience. All work is remote and only requires a computer or laptop with a reliable internet connection.
Participation in the Fellows Program can qualify for community service hours, and eligible Fellows may also request recognition with the President’s Volunteer Service Award.
“As a political science student, I have found that volunteering with Ballotpedia has opened my eyes to local politics in a way that has become invaluable for my understanding of the structure and function of American democracy. I could not recommend this program more to students or anyone looking to know more about issues impacting communities and how they interact with and contribute to national policy conversation!”

As Landmark College celebrates its 40th anniversary, the institution continues to find new and innovative ways to fulfill its mission to “transform the way students learn, educators teach, and society perceives education.”
This most certainly includes opportunities for high school students just starting their postsecondary journey. A recent restructuring and expansion of Landmark's online and intersession programs allows rising high school juniors and seniors to utilize High School Summer Program courses and LC Online Dual Enrollment sequentially, providing a tailored fit for each individual student.
Here's how it works:
The High School Summer Program provides that “taste of college life” for college-capable students. For three weeks, they live in residence halls, attend classes, and engage in social activities that forge lifelong friendships. The unifying themes for this program are self-confidence and self-awareness: guiding students through what college offers, both in and outside the classroom, setting them on a path toward self-awareness and independence. More detailed information about this year's High School Summer Program is below. After completing this program, students frequently sign-up for LC Online Dual Enrollment courses to sustain their academic momentum.
When the academic year resumes, LC Online Dual Enrollment courses prepare students for the academic rigor of college while earning college credits. Beyond that, Landmark College’s pedagogy and universal design approach to classroom teaching effectively supports students in both synchronous and asynchronous delivery models. LC Online offers dual enrollment courses in about 20 different subjects covering business, science, math, the arts, and humanities, as well as Landmark's flagship “Perspectives in Learning” course.

Minutes from New York City — and all its promise and opportunity — Stevens Institute of Technology offers you an opportunity to explore your ambitions in our Pre-College Programs. Whether you want to earn college credit in high school or have an immersive college experience complete with living on campus, our programs feature courses taught by Stevens faculty and industry professionals for a real taste college life.
Starting Summer 2025, Stevens’ introduction of the Online For-Credit Program will provide high school students with another way to prepare for higher education academics by enrolling in STEM-focused, college-level courses taught through live virtual sessions with Stevens faculty.
Offerings include courses in biology and biotechnology, calculus, coding, management and marketing. “These courses provide students with valuable exposure to various fields, helping them determine if a particular career path aligns with their interests,” says Rodriguez.
Courses will be delivered through live virtual instruction during the evenings of the first summer session, running from May 19 to July 9, 2025. Each course meets twice a week over seven weeks and will be led by a Stevens faculty member, with support from a teaching assistant. Upon earning a passing grade in the course, students will see the credit reflected on their Stevens transcript to count towards an undergraduate program at Stevens. The credits may also be accepted by other institutions.
“This program gives students a significant advantage over their peers who haven’t experienced college-level coursework. Beyond the academic rigor, college courses have a different structure than high school, meeting less frequently and requiring students to take initiative in managing their workload and preparing for upcoming material,” says Rodriguez.
Not only will students earn college credits, but they’ll gain exposure to career pathways, foster their college readiness and enhance their college application credentials.
The inclusion of the For-Credit Program is a result of the success of the Dare to Dream Grant, which funded 120 students from underrepresented ethnic groups in STEM to take college-level courses.
