The FBI Pittsburgh Division’s Community Outreach Program will host five Teen Academy programs this fall and will support the CJIS Teen Academy in Clarksburg.
Teen Academy is a one-day hands-on program for rising High School Juniors and Seniors (2024-2025 school year) who live within the FBI Pittsburgh Division’s area of responsibility in Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
The dates and locations for the 2024 Fall Program are below:
FBI Beckley, WV Teen Academy; October 8, 2024
FBI Charleston, WV Teen Academy; October 9, 2024
FBI CJIS (Clarksburg, WV) Teen Academy; October 15, 2024
FBI Pittsburgh, PA Teen Academy; October 17, 2024
FBI Wheeling, WV Teen Academy; October 29, 2024
FBI Martinsburg, WV Teen Academy; November 13, 2024
The FBI’s Teen Academy program in Pittsburgh and West Virginia allows a diverse group of high school students the opportunity to develop leadership skills and to investigate the world of law enforcement. Active explorations of fitness and forensic science grow students’ minds and bodies while age-appropriate lessons on topics such as violence prevention, sextortion, and hoax threats teach them how to stay safe. FBI staff, including special agents, intelligence analysts, and professional staff, lead discussions and interactive sessions focused on the work we do, how we do it, and, most importantly, why we choose this work in service of all Americans.
Any student with an interest in leadership and service is welcome to apply for this free opportunity. An interest in a law enforcement career is not a pre-requisite.
Please visit the following link to view a sneak peek of our Teen Academy program and to download an official application, which includes an essay requirement. When you click on the city of your choice, make sure you click on the link to download the file, complete the application on your computer, and return via e-mail to the POCs listed below.
