Register Now for Summer Planning Bootcamp!
Dear Summer Learning Community,
We know that by the end of the 2020-2021 academic year, students on average were five months behind in math and four months behind in reading, and the U.S. Surgeon General has raised a flag on young people’s mental health. So while summer is a time of joy, fun learning, and experiencing new connections to help youth thrive, it is also a time for healing.
Register now for The National Summer Learning Association’s free virtual Summer Planning Bootcamp to gain tools and best practices to meet this moment head on. Led by dynamic out-of-school time leaders, we will delve into strategies to accelerate learning, build critical partnerships, and plan successful strategies to scale impact in a sustainable and measurable way.
Our nation's children, especially the most vulnerable, can no longer wait to tap the power of summer. Get ready for summer now.
In partnership,
The NSLA Team
