NEW FBI
RICHMOND OUTREACH INITIATIVE
Thomas M.
Chadwick, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Richmond Division of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation announces a new outreach initiative geared
towards youth engagement. The FBI Richmond Youth Academy will kick off
during the summer of 2017, in a two-day program open to fifty students
currently enrolled in a Virginia high school. During the academy,
students will be provided an overview of the FBI’s mission and operations
through a series of presentations and exercises.
The FBI Richmond Youth Academy will be held on Monday, July 17 and Tuesday,
July 18, 2017, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Richmond Field Office located at
1970 East Parham Road, Richmond, Virginia.
Students interested in participating in the Youth Academy must have parental
approval and meet the following eligibility requirements:
ü
Be
a United States citizen.
ü
Reside
in Virginia.
ü
Be
enrolled in an accredited high school or if home-schooled, recognized by your
school district.
ü
Be
a junior or senior.
ü
Maintain
a grade point average of 2.5 or higher.
In
addition to the eligibility requirements stated above, students must also
complete an application process no later than May 31, 2017. The Youth
Academy is not an internship program and while students may be offered case
studies drawn from adjudicated cases during the session, they will not be
exposed to active cases nor day-to-day investigations.
Students
or parents having additional questions about the program should contact the
Division’s Community Outreach Specialist via email at Training.RH@ic.FBI.gov.
Information about this initiative, to include the application, and additional
outreach programs may be viewed here.
