High School Summer Intelligence Programs

Investigate a career in national security.

At the NSLC on Intelligence & National Security, you’ll manage a crisis and assess threats to the nation as you develop security strategies that will protect the United States.

I learned so much about intelligence and national security, but also about leadership and how to communicate with others better. I loved it more than words can describe.
