OUR STORY

SummerCollab co-creates youth programs that energize kids to love learning, play wildly and believe in the power of their unique talents.  We envision a world filled with imaginative, confident young people who believe in their unique talents, intelligence and unlimited possibility.  Our signature programs, Tyler’s Camp, Literacy Corps, Community Mentor Network and Collaborative Clubs, provide new experiences and rich activities designed to narrow learning gaps in low income communities.  We focus on cultivating self-worth, self-discovery, and meaningful human connection.  Through these programs, kids learn to be vulnerable, persistent and curious while exploring new experiences.
