The FBI CJIS Division will be hosting the
2023 FBI Teen Academy at the Clarksburg, WV, campus on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Teen Academy is a one-day hands-on program for current West Virginia High School Juniors and Seniors (2023-2024 school year). Teen Academy is a chance for youth to learn about the FBI and what a variety of career paths in the FBI would entail.
Selected students are offered insight into a number of topics and specialties, including the importance of making good choices when using online communication platforms, federal law violations the FBI investigates, requirements of all FBI applicants, and the FBl's domestic and international roles. Students will also enjoy various hands-on experiences involving specialized areas of the FBI, such as our Evidence Response Team. After completing the class, students are more aware of challenges their communities face, better understand how the FBI serves their region, and are prepared to mentor their peers.
The deadline for completed applications is September 15. Applicants will be notified of their application status via email by
October 2. See https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/pittsburgh-charleston-teen-academy-application-07112023.pdf
