Target kid with no connections

I’m currently a sophomore at a target and I don’t have many connections. I have a high GPA and have good ECs but I’m not in any of the “prestigious” finance clubs. Or have a parent in the finance world.
Maybe I’m already behind the 8-ball but I’m truly capable and motivated to break into IB. How should I start networking and applying for summer 2025 and what should I be looking for summer after sophomore year?
