Additional information
The goal of the Summer Learning Literacy Program is to empower students to become active owners of and advocates for their education. Through youth-initiated research, group projects, peer-to-peer learning, guest speakers, and field trips, students will learn all about their learning styles and preferences, how to effectively engage with their schools and teachers, and how to increase their academic success in 8th grade and beyond!
