Summer Isn't Cancelled. Join Us As We Save Summer.

Make a Difference

Summer may look different this year, but we can’t let COVID-19 can’t steal the joy of summer learning and fun for millions of kids. That’s why NSLA is working with summer program across the country as they adapt in creative ways to ensure children and their families can access quality summer enrichment opportunities and critical services throughout this COVID-19 summer. 

For more than a quarter century, NSLA has led the charge and changed the conversation about summer learning, and what it means for our most vulnerable children and youth. Together with partners, we’re helping to encourage collaboration between schools and community organizations, increase funding for high-needs students, and embed summer learning into the 12-month planning cycle at school districts across the country.

Join us with a donation to support summer learning programs across the nation. Every gift matters!
