The vision of the National Summer Learning Association is for every child to be safe, healthy, and engaged in learning during the summer. #KeepKidsLearning
To celebrate the power and potential of summer learning, NSLA welcomed more than 100 partners, supporters, and champions to our annual Kickoff to Summer BBQ in NYC. Together, these voices reminded us that summer is not a pause in a young person's development but an opportunity!
Mark your calendars! National Summer Learning Week is July 6–10, 2026.
