The FBI Denver Division and Denver Chapter FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association cordially invite all interested Colorado and Wyoming high school sophomores and juniors (including 2016/17 freshman and 2016/17 juniors) to apply to attend one of two Teen Academies, which will be held June 13, 2017 and August 1, 2017, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the FBI Denver Field Office.

The FBI Teen Academy provides an opportunity for high school students to visit our field office and catch a glimpse behind the scenes of the FBI. Upon completion of Teen Academy, high school students will foster a greater understanding of the FBI’s mission and how we serve our citizens, community, and nation. During the academy, students will be afforded an opportunity to learn about how evidence and hazardous material are collected at crime scenes; discover how FBI SWAT executes arrests; tour the gun vault; learn about bomb threats and cases, the undercover program, and Hostage Crisis Negotiation Team; and meet FBI agents, victim specialists, intelligence analysts, forensic accountants, linguists, and others.

Due to the vast diversity in our workforce, any student with an interest in the FBI, what we do, and how a relationship with the FBI can help their school is encouraged to apply. The program is not exclusive to students interested in criminal justice. All students will be evaluated based on their application (school activities and community involvement) and an essay to determine which students will be offered a seat in the class. None of the above elements will be the sole basis of evaluation of an application, and the application process should be taken seriously by all applicants. Each class size is limited to 50 students. The application, release form, and a supporting essay must be received by the FBI Denver Field Office by 4 p.m. on April 15, 2017. Incomplete and late applications will not be accepted.
