The Tustin Public Schools Foundation (TPSF) Summer Academy Internship Program offers current TUSD high school students (incoming grades 9–12) a meaningful opportunity to serve, lead, and grow while supporting TUSD’s Summer Academy. Interns work alongside teachers, mentor younger students, and help foster a positive, engaging learning environment while developing core leadership and interpersonal skills.
The four-week program runs June 8–July 2, 2026, at Pioneer Middle School, with a mandatory leadership orientation on May 20, 2026. Applications open February 1, 2026, and are due by March 1. Strong candidates are those who can commit to the full Summer Academy session and participate fully in classroom support and leadership growth activities.

I loved this course. I've been going to TPSF since I was little, and the classes just keep getting better and better.
