⚡We are ONE MONTH AWAY from the National Day of Summer Learning!⚡

We'll see you July 16th in Bronson Park (Kalamazoo) and July 17th at Claude Evans Park (Battle Creek) from 11am-3pm 😎

What is the National Day of Summer Learning? These fun, family-friendly events raise awareness of the importance of summer learning on a national level. Research shows that youth who participate in high-quality out-of-school time (OST) programs build lifelong skills in social and emotional learning, leadership, and more. The demand for OST programs far exceeds the availability, so funding and support for these programs is critical. Join us as we advocate with music, free food, youth performances, and resource organizations from around the community!
