White House Announces New Summer Opportunity Project
The Summer Opportunity Project will give young people access to their 
'First Job,' and encourage investment in programs supporting 
summer meals and learning.
"Let's make sure every young person knows that in America, we're all committed to helping them achieve their dreams." President Barack Obama
State and local leaders, community-based organizations, private sector leaders, philanthropic leaders, schools and other youth-serving agencies are coming together to create a set of supports that enable strong transitions from school year to school year and from high school to college and to create careers by implementing and spreading proven interventions. The Summer Opportunity Project is a multi-agency effort in partnership with the National Summer Learning Association and other collaborators to provide support to communities. The Project aims to significantly increase the percentage of youth in evidence-based summer opportunity programs, decrease the percentage of youth experiencing violence over the summer, and-more broadly-make sure that young Americans have the support they need to get their first job.  (CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS)
