Funder Briefing: What to Expect This Summer - From National Trends to Local Insights
As we look ahead to the summer months, join the
Summer Fund for a timely
donor briefing exploring what to expect this season — from national trends to
local insights, including how youth-serving organizations are responding to
growing mental health needs among young people.
We are pleased to welcome
Aaron Dworkin, CEO of the National Summer Learning Association, who will provide a national perspective on the evolving landscape of summer learning and youth development.
This context setting will be followed by a conversation with Summer Fund partners
Alexandra Oliver-Davila (Executive Director of Sociedad Latina) and
Kathy Lafferty (Executive Director of South Boston Neighborhood House), moderated by
Sean Higgins, Director of the Summer Fund. Together, they will share what they are seeing on the ground and how organizations are adapting their programs to support
the well-being of young people this summer.
We will also highlight how the Summer Fund is positioning its work to meet this moment and share opportunities for engagement during our 55th anniversary year.
