The following camp directory lists some of the summer camps for high school students in science, mathematics, and engineering throughout the United States that are and were previously offered. The directory lists camps that have been hosted by Universities and research centers in the past. Please note that all camps may not be offered every year and that new camps and programs are currently being added. Old or unsuccessful programs are always being eliminated or modified. A substantial number of programs specifically target minorities, women, and other groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences. The programs offered change frequently, and this database is not comprehensive. This is only meant to be a guide to aid your search for engineering education preparation tools. Many of the programs offer scholarships and may have application deadlines as early as January. If you are interested in a program, please call or write the organization listed for an application and the most current information available.

THE ONE WORLD FOUNDATION Human Rights Exchange Programs for Dedicated Young People
http://www.theoneworldfoundation.org

One World Foundation is a 501(c) (3), non profit organization whose mission is to encourage young people from minority and indigenous backgrounds to become actively engaged in the human rights and development arenas. We believe that social justice, economic justice and respect for human rights can be achieved through global campaigns and coalitions of committed young people. Our Growth As programming and participation continues to develop within the organization, our mission has grown, incorporating a spectrum of struggles and hopes in human rights. Our participants will not simply participate in global exchange, but pioneer and change the way it works. One World is conscious of and focused on cross-cultural exchanges between impacted and affected communities. Our Dreams One World imagines experiences where One World Young Leaders working with disadvantaged children in Cambodia not only help to transform lives in Cambodia but serve as important diplomats for their communities in the U.S. In Senegal, we hope One World Young Leaders will contribute to the fight against poverty and the social deprivations it imposes upon communities while gaining the powerful understanding that rich and diverse cultures exist beyond our borders. Most importantly, we are determined to see that while our Young Leaders develop lifelong friendships with each other and friends they make in the host countries they strengthen their passion towards social justice… all in one amazing trip.
