College Internship Question

Some background: I am going to be a freshmen at a non target this fall.

I am aiming to get a summer internship next year at a regional boutique bank. Coming from a non target, there is little to no alumni to connect with so do you think the best method of networking is to start emailing/calling bankers asking if there's any internship opportunities? I know standard procedure would be to form a relationship first with informational interviews, but since there are very little alumni, it is hard. Should I still try to get informational interviews with bankers with no connections?

Also, when should I begin networking for a regional BB summer internship?

Thanks for the info.
