Project Summer
Project Summer's Curriculum and Incentive Program aims to prevent the "summer slide" phenomenon among children and youth in grade school. This refers to the learning loss that typically occurs during the summer break when students are not actively engaged in educational activities. Our program is designed to bridge the learning gap and ensure that children continue to learn and grow over the summer months. We do so through:
***Curriculum: The program provides a structured curriculum that covers essential subjects such as math, reading, and critical thinking. The curriculum is designed to be engaging and interactive, making learning fun for the participants.
***Incentives: To keep participants motivated and engaged, the program offers incentives for completing learning activities and achieving milestones. These incentives can include rewards, recognition, and certificates. This helps create a positive learning environment and encourages students to actively participate in the program. The children will also get a chance to participate in the Project Summer Graduation in September.
***Project Summer also offers a Nutritional Snack Program. We will encourage healthy eating and exercise ideas along with passing out snacks during the summer months.
By combining a structured curriculum, personalized learning, virtual resources, mentoring, and incentives, the program effectively bridges the learning gap during the summer break and ensures that students continue to learn and grow academically.

Project Summer Connect
Project Summer Connect is a program that aims to connect sponsors with children who will be sponsored during the summer. The program's primary objective is to provide support to children by assisting them with the resources they need throughout the school year. The importance of Project Summer Connect lies in its ability to address the educational and developmental needs of children, ensuring they have a successful academic journey. How it works:
***The program works by matching sponsors with children who require assistance. Sponsors can be individuals, organizations, or companies willing to provide financial support, educational resources, or mentorship to a child in need.
***Once the connection is established, sponsors can provide various forms of support to the sponsored children. This support can include purchasing school supplies, textbooks, and uniforms, or even providing financial assistance for tuition fees.
Project Summer Connect operates on the understanding that children's educational needs extend beyond the classroom and school year. By bridging the gap during the summer break, the program ensures that children have access to the necessary resources and support throughout the year.

Elements of Identity
The importance of this program lies in its ability to foster a positive and supportive environment where children can develop essential skills and competencies that contribute to their overall well-being and success. By focusing on social and emotional learning, the program recognizes that academic achievement alone is not sufficient for a child's holistic development. We implement a SEL Program along with education and awareness of Mental Health and Wellness in Children and Youth.
***The SEL Program encourages them to explore their interests, understand and regulate their emotions, develop self-awareness, cultivate social awareness, build healthy relationships, make responsible decisions, and identify and leverage their strengths. They learn how to effectively communicate their thoughts and feelings, manage stress and conflicts, empathize with others, make ethical choices, and build positive relationships with peers and adults.
***The program works by incorporating SEL into various aspects of the curriculum and activities. It may include dedicated SEL sessions, interactive workshops, group discussions, role-playing exercises, and reflective practices.
***The program provides age-appropriate education about mental health, mental illnesses, and the importance of overall well-being. Through interactive sessions, workshops, and guest speakers, participants gain insights into the significance of mental health and are encouraged to break the stigma surrounding it. We also refer if needed.
The program is important because it nurtures the social and emotional development of children. Through a comprehensive approach to SEL, children are better equipped to navigate challenges, succeed academically, and thrive in all areas of their lives.
