    Welcome to 91New England! This region offers an abundance of possibilities for personal growth and academic advancement. Teens can spend their summers immersed in a pre-college program at a prestigious institution like MIT, exploring STEM topics, or at the Rhode Island School of Design, learning about art and video game design. These programs offer a taste of college life and can help teens narrow down their academic interests.

Teens can gain valuable skills and give back to their communities by volunteering in Boston, Providence, Hartford, and smaller towns. These experiences offer a chance to make a difference and gain valuable life skills like leadership and collaboration.
