How young people spend their time during the summer months has a proven
effect on academic achievement, graduation rates, and preparation<br>
for college. The mission of the National Summer Learning Association is
to connect and equip schools and community organizations to deliver
quality summer learning programs to our nation’s youth to help close the
achievement gap. During this webcast you’ll learn about the risks
associated with a lack of high-quality summer learning opportunities for
youth, find out what makes a quality program, understand the policy
context, and hear examples of successful summer program-related
graduation outcomes.<br>
