Summer 2025
The Summer Site Associates play an instrumental role in supporting the success of BTSV’s nationally recognized summer program. This six-week program for our incoming 7th, 8th, and 9th-grade students seeks to introduce and develop the core behaviors, values, and skills the rest of our six-year program reinforces. BTSV’s summer program is a unique hybrid of summer school and summer camp, where students get to take rigorous academic classes and participate in activities that develop college-going behaviors and mindsets, all in an environment that promotes the idea that learning is fun and it’s “cool to be smart.” You’ll oversee the process and management of all things related to facilities and logistics at your site to ensure that all students, faculty, and staff have access to the needed rooms, space, technology, and supplies to execute a strong and successful program.
