Last year we were emailed in mid-April.

I previously hosted a SummerRise student and received an email requesting thar I do the same. Since I won't have the same job next year, I am unable to do so. But obviously there is some movement forward for renewing the program.

Sorry the position was not a match for your child. With all the uncertainty in the job market, there may not be as many options to choose from. MCPS reaches out to various employers but they've got to accept to ensure various opportunities for students. It's just not happening this year.

It was a camp counselor job. Terrible hours, no flexibility and it was a transportation issue. Kids can get paid camp jobs. It wasn’t anything close to what was asked. It’s not an internship it’s a volunteer job. They can volunteer elsewhere with something more interesting and closer to

There were many more applicants than spots available. You were lucky to get an offer at all. Just say no and someone else will probably be glad to take it.

My kid just got an offer letter - but there is no mention of payment/stipend. I thought they at least got a $500 stipend last year but don’t see any mention of it now.

Maybe they did not get funding this year especially with all the gov. cuts? I saw this in the 2025 description

"Receive a stipend, if funded"
