Let us treat you to ice cream or an iced coffee when you meet one-on-one with a Springboard staff member who can help you discover amazing programs. This opportunity is open to teens and/or parents of 8th-12th graders. Parents, if your teen is away this summer at camp, you can still meet with a Springboard staff member. These meetings are great for teens looking to try something new, aren't sure where to start, or have participated in many opportunities and just want to meet with a Springboard staff member to share your experiences.
