Learning from the growing number of students and partners engaged each year, the report emphasizes 4 key lessons in creating an impactful summer learning model. As other cities adopt the summer learning model and Boston Beyond serves more students each year, these lessons are a step toward the goal of summer learning for all. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d408093b5257200015579a9/1564508339421/Olmstead02.jpg Reports https://www.summerforall.org/contact daily 0.75 2019-08-01 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d435156c30a4c0001c8da99/1565892330217/48416158106_292bf77536_o.jpg Contact https://www.summerforall.org/who-we-are daily 0.75 2019-08-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d55aec19036360001923edf/1565964508471/Olmstead01.jpg Who We Are The Boston Private Industry Council (PIC) strengthens Boston’s communities and its workforce by connecting youth and adults with education and employment opportunities that align with the needs of area employers.

Specifically, participation in summer jobs increases participants’ community engagement and social skills, raises aspirations to attend a four-year college, and improves job readiness skills. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d55acf040850d0001c1103f/1565896005857/02.PNG Evidence - summer learning Since 2010, Boston Beyond has mobilized and scaled partnerships among the Boston Public Schools and youth development organizations to engage more than 47,000 students in high quality summer learning. The largest study to date on summer learning, commissioned by the Wallace Foundation and evaluated by RAND Corporation, showed that high attending participants in Boston Beyond’s summer learning model gained a statistically significant advantage over a control group in math, English language arts, and key social-emotional skills. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d559c842b215200011cfc64/1565891724875/STEAM+Team+6.jpg Evidence https://www.summerforall.org/why-now daily 0.75 2019-08-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d56f79776b5c2000126e343/1565980573884/Riley+speaking.jpg Why Now?

Demand among students for summer learning programs outstrips the supply at school, city, and state levels. Boston generated nearly 1,000 applicants for 500 program slots in its lottery in 2013. And in the first year that the Massachusetts Department of Education made summer learning grants, demand for funds outstripped supply by 300%. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d56b858c931d100012bd42d/1565979634709/STEAM+Team+11.jpg Why Now? https://www.summerforall.org/summer-for-all daily 0.75 2019-08-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d56b8dc38a1c600017ae2cd/1565896400172/Olmstead01.jpg Summer for All “We see the benefits of this program here in Boston. We see the potential. I invite the business community, higher education, and philanthropy to help us ensure that every child has access to high quality learning all year round.” — Mayor Martin J. Walsh https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d56b8dc38a1c600017ae2ca/1565896444885/Acedone01.jpg Summer for All Boston Beyond and the PIC aim to serve more youth, create more partnerships, enable more skill development, and generate more public support and resources - until we achieve high quality summer learning and employment for every Boston kid. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d56b8dc38a1c600017ae2c7/1565892499116/48416466316_b391657f22_o.jpg Summer for All https://www.summerforall.org/our-approach daily 0.75 2019-09-05 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d56f271390d8d000118ae60/1565979261599/Camp+Harbor+View72.jpg Our Approach - Summer jobs For 40 years the PIC has brokered private sector employment opportunities for generations of Boston teenagers, creating work and learning opportunities in key industries. Working with 130 leading companies it developed one of the largest private sector summer youth employment programs in the country, brokering 3,693 summer jobs for teens in summer 2018 part of Mayor Walsh’s effort that reaches 10,000 youth. The PIC also led the creation of the innovative state “connecting activities” fund, which supports the state’s workforce boards to broker and expand youth employment in cities across Massachusetts. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d56e5fb74348d0001b17e58/1565976067696/Harlem+Lacrosse+-+11.jpg Our Approach - Summer learning Since 2010 Boston’s summer learning model has made the entire city a classroom, offering Boston youth access to the city’s best natural, cultural, and neighborhood resources and growth experiences that would not otherwise have been available. Boston Beyond has mobilized and scaled partnerships among the Boston Public Schools, the Mayor’s office, and a rich network of community organizations to engage more than 47,000 Boston students in high quality summer learning that supports year-round academic and social-emotional growth. With a focus on cross-cutting skills and consistent measurement, this effort transitioned summer school to summer learning, and impacted 14,000 students in summer 2019. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d56e55e3d7ede00017b58e8/1565892499116/48416466316_b391657f22_o.jpg Our Approach https://www.summerforall.org/the-need daily 0.75 2019-08-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d56f6df76b5c2000126dd22/1565980411484/Haynes+summer+photo.jpg The Need Despite leading in average school performance, Massachusetts has substantial gaps in achievement, wealth, and life outcomes based on race and zip code. In 2017, the median net worth in Boston for whites was $247,500, compared to just $8 for people of color. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d56f73232e8a900011c1ab6/1565980474146/Mattahunt+-+21.jpg The Need School alone cannot fix this imbalance. Children spend just 20% of their waking hours in school, and the other 80% is where disadvantage is exacerbated. With fewer opportunities outside of school, poor children fare worse than wealthier peers on education, health, safety and skills outcomes. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d4056207bb6730001141e1e/t/5d56f475390d8d000118c8a8/1565979770425/Harlem+Lacrosse+-+99.jpg The Need
