hs junior looking for internship

i'm a high school junior in the Northeast with a really good academic record (and one-time 1580 SAT). i'm looking for internships or cool jobs around here or maybe in the NYC, Philly, or DC areas.

working at a financial firm would be really cool; i'm fairly competent and can do DCF analysis/comps/etc. i've also been looking at public policy shit because in my experience, IBs and HFs and shit aren't as willing to take on the liabilities that come with hiring kids.

if you have any suggestions or have heard of anything, lmk please. thanks!
