Events

The National Summer Learning Association is holding a free Summer Planning Bootcamp in March to prepare for the events that it will provide to millions of young people across the nation this summer.

The bootcamp will feature three sessions each day and is open to all. Attendees will learn from top education leaders, youth development experts, and programs that will share their resources, insights, and best practices on hot topics.

The panels on both days run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Day 1

On Thursday, March 13, participants will hear from three panels. These include:

• Understanding the current landscape of summer learning
• Creating environments full of hands-on experiences in which youth can share their voice, build connections with others, and find a deeper meaning in their learning
• How program leaders can build a sense of belonging, agency, active engagement, and reflection in staff

Day 2

The second day of the bootcamp, Friday, March 14, will include the following panels:

• Building and maintaining strong links with community organizations, families, and other partners to support youth success
• Creating a quality improvement cycle with all program stakeholders
• Learning that matters, building skills, and providing opportunities

Both days of the bootcamp are free of charge and will be held on Zoom. Registration is now open.
