The people and mission behind WebTern.
WebTern exists to close the gap between high school students with potential and the opportunities they can't access on their own. We give every student a guaranteed internship, coach them on landing research placements at top institutions, and connect them with Ivy League students who know how to open doors.
We're always looking for passionate people — mentors, program coordinators, and Ivy League students who want to give high schoolers the access they wish they'd had. If that's you, we'd love to talk.

CS isn't the only path. Whether you're pre-med, interested in policy, or focused on finance, there's a track here that builds the right credentials for you.
Most research internships are filled through networks, not job boards. We give students access to those networks before they would have ever found them on their own.
A long list of clubs doesn't move applications forward. A research placement at Georgetown does. We focus on the experiences that actually change outcomes.
