The FBI Louisville Division is inviting all Kentucky high schoolers to their annual Teen academy. 

The 2025 FBI Louisville Teen Academy will be held July 14 through 17 at the FBI Louisville Field Office, located at 12401 Sycamore Station Place in Louisville.

The academy is open to all high school students, including seniors graduating this summer and freshmen entering high school this fall. The academy offers high school students a behind the scenes look at the Bureau, with instruction on topics such as how evidence is collected from crime scenes, how FBI SWAT executes arrests, and programs focused on terrorism, civil rights, crimes against children, and cyber crimes. The FBI emphasizes that the Bureau does not only hire individuals with a criminal justice background, so any student with an interest in the FBI and its mission is encouraged to apply.

All students will be evaluated based on their application and an essay to determine which students will be offered an academy spot. The application and more information is available on the Community Outreach section of the FBI Louisville website. Applications must be submitted by May 23.
