Ignite Summer Toolkit

Summer is a time of possibility and potential.

As summer program providers — or should we say innovators, creators and wizards! — we have an opportunity to make space for students to be successful in ways they haven’t before.

But how do we make the most of that opportunity?

This toolkit is here to help. It’s full of hands-on resources to help inspire, excite and re-imagine high-quality summer programming.
