Summer is a window into the life we want for ourselves, and it is for that reason that we, The Summer Learning Collaborative (SummerCollab), sincerely believe all kids, in particular our low-income youth, need access to extraordinary experiences in the summertime and throughout the school year. Tackling summer learning loss, SummerCollab is dedicated to offering a summer of limitless possibilities for our low-income youth. We co-create both summer and year-long youth programs with community agencies and schools that energize kids to love learning, play wildly, and believe in the power of their unique talents. With our extraordinary summer and year-long programs, SummerCollab better equips children to engage with academic content and their everyday lives with boosts of confidence and socio-emotional growth. SummerCollab seeks to realize a world filled with imaginative, confident young people who believe in their unique talents, intelligence and unlimited possibility! Helping to bring the wonder of summer into everyday! *** Our programs are ever-expanding and include: 1. TYLER'S CAMP (Provides music, technology, sports and arts opportunities free of charge for Wilmington’s highest need middle school youth where students have the chance to explore all they can be and what they have the potential to create) 2. READING BUDDIES (K-5 targeted literacy intervention programming carried out by our Literacy Corps members) 3. COMMUNITY MENTOR NETWORK (A program working to support students who have experienced socio-emotional loss in addition to academic learning loss due to the pandemic by providing targeted 1:1 social-emotional learning and mentoring support to students as they return to in-person schooling) TO REGISTER, DONATE, OR SPONSOR THIS YEAR’S RACE, PLEASE GO TO THE FOLLOWING LINK: https://raceroster.com/events/2023/65167/tyler-browns-i-hate-to-run-memorial-5k-and-10k
