The program aims to support summer learning at public charter schools in New York City for about 25,000 K-8 students.
Summer Boost NYC builds on the city’s Summer Rising initiative by aiming to support students at charter schools, of which 14% of New York City public school students attend.open to any child in grades K-12 who wants to participate. It officially kicked off in summer 2021 under then Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration.
The Summer Rising Initiative is a free program that combines the NYC Department of Education's academic support and the Department of Youth and Community Development's programming. According to city officials, it is a student-centered comprehensive programming that is integrated with social-emotional learning and available for all students, not just those who may need further academic support with a particular subject matter.
“Whether at a district school or a charter school, every young person should be invested in, and this $50 million investment will do just that,” Adams said in a statement. “Many of our sons and daughters had disrupted learning during the past two years because of the pandemic and deserve an opportunity to learn during the summer. This investment will give young New Yorkers in the program the chance to grow, to learn, and to explore their talents and imagination.
“It is essential that every child in New York City has a safe and supportive place to grow this summer,” Banks said. Bloomberg echoed similar sentiments, adding:"This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. This summer is a valuable opportunity to make up for lost ground, and we’re not going to let it slip by.”
