Summer is Coming - What Will You Be Doing?
With spring officially underway, many are already looking ahead to summer, particularly thinking about how to keep kids engaged and learning this summer. As Representative Smith Warner shared in her testimony at the legislature in February, "We must shift our education focus from 9 months a year to 12 months a year... We are not not looking for a one size fits all solution to summer learning loss, we respect and benefit from the wide range of community specific solutions to this statewide problem."
Help us elevate the conversation and increase summer learning opportunities for youth across the state:
There are a whole variety of summer programs across the state designed to give students opportunities that are both fun and educational. These summer learning opportunities make summer a time of learning and play, making the fight against summer learning loss fun for all!

Share your Perspective on Social and Emotional Learning
Afterschool is more than a place for homework help or fun and games -it's where kids gain critical social and emotional skills necessary to become responsible adults, collaborative workers and humane citizens.
A second survey is also being done to better understand Policymaker, K-12 Public School Leader and Afterschool Leader Opinions relating to desired outcomes of K-12 education and afterschool programs. The survey can be found
