Summercollab Litcorps Reading Buddies

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. 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. A side effect of this work is improved confidence, academic engagement and performance. Summer Literacy Corps works with local summer camps to provide literacy intervention as a part of their camp's day. Students meet in small groups with a Literacy Corps Member to review foundational reading skills, improve comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary. Students also benefit from a mentor in their Reading Buddy
- building relationships, having fun, and supporting academic and social-emotional learning. Members commit to serving 300 hours by 8/31/2024. Upon completion of the hours, members earn an education award of $1,824.07. In addition, SummerCollab provides a living allowance of $4,500 (spread over the months of service).
