17 Year Old applying for B2 Visa

I'm a 17-year-old student from Italy and I have the opportunity to participate in an international program related to international law. Since I am a Romanian citizen, I need to apply for a B2 visa, as advised by the organization.

I have a few questions:

  1. What additional documents are required for a minor compared to an adult applying for a B2 visa?
  2. Is a parent’s presence mandatory during the interview?
  3. How does proof of sufficient funds work? Most of the program costs are covered by the organization. How can I demonstrate that I will have enough money for the trip?

There is little reliable information about this online. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could share websites, Youtube channels or resources that cover those topics.
