Check out the American Chemical Society.  They have a summer program
called Project SEED.  You will have to identify a chemistry faculty
member to serve as their mentor.  The students can have summer
experiences for up to two years as a SEED 1 and SEED 2 student.  I have
a Chemistry faculty member that has done this for several years and the
students have opportunities to present their research at various meetings.

Also, if you are close to a Department of Energy Lab like Oak Ridge,
they will usually have some summer programs.
