PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Topspin is EPATT’s paid internship for high school students ready to take the next step. Interns gain real-world work experience and leadership roles in EPATT departments (Project Rally, ACES, Administration, or Tennis) while building academic skills, college readiness, and career exposure through tutoring (including a remote option) and enrichment workshops. Interns are supported by the Student Success Coordinator through weekly check-ins, tutoring, structured professional development, culminating in a final Impact Project at the end of the school year. 

LOCATION: EPATT Center, 2450 Ralmar Ave, East Palo Alto, CA 94303
