I don’t know, but since people are declining placement offers, they’re still filling placements.

They sent an email saying they don’t have enough placements.

I think it’s first come first serve and then either random or slight interests. Ours was terrible and we declined.

My kid applied on the first day the application process was open and hasn’t heard anything.

Same here. Also has 504 plan so maybe makes for less attractive candidate

Our also was terrible. Declining. I think they try to maybe current skills and maybe location but it certainly didn’t match interest. Mine might have actually liked Glenstone depending on position

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


I get it. I think in the past places like NIH and Glenstone participated. Anyone's child get an NIH or Glenstone offer this year?


NIH or glenstone would be great. I don’t even care about the stipend. Better to get a regular job.

That's weird. Isn't there a different program through Moco rec where they can get SSL?

No mention of stipend for DD, not Glenstone. I thought the stipends came from the county, not the host organization so that seems odd.

Friend’s son got Glenstone. It mentions the stipend, but not how much. Still, he’s excited.
