Enrichment opportunities are especially important to student growth and development. Whether you participate in sports, clubs, after-school programs, peer mentoring, summer camps, or other extra-curricular activities, you will be more prepared and equipped for higher education, and employment. Through these initiatives students are able to enhance their academic and social skills, generating a resume for the future.

Enrichment programs may focus on music and fine arts, learning, athletics, building a variety of skills, and so on. During the year, the Guidance Department receives information from community-based organizations, non-profit operations, religious organizations and universities offering such programs for young adolescents.

We plan on using this website to convey these opportunities to parents and students in our school district, and challenge you to take advantage of these great resources to discover something meaningful and rewarding.

The Natick High School Guidance and Counseling Department does not endorse one program over another but offers this for information purposes only.

TeenLife - "Summer is a great time for teens to relax and recharge after a busy school year. But it’s also a fantastic time for them to keep their minds and bodies active, explore new interests, and make lifelong memories — and friends — in a summer program!

Explore. Experiment. Learn.

Whether it’s an overnight pre-college program, local day camp, or sleep-away adventure, these programs come in all shapes and sizes. Some are academically focused, others are skills-based, and all are engaging and fun, offering enrichment opportunities for teens to expand their horizons. TeenLife has you covered!"

The Education Cooperative - The Education Cooperative (TEC) Internship Program is a career exploration program supporting junior and senior high school students. TEC internships enable students to: clarify career goals and future academics; understand career paths and what having a job is really like; strengthen a college application and/or resume; gain confidence and life skills; and make potential contacts for a future job search.
