Day 36

Summer Search

The mission of Summer Search is to find resilient low-income high school students and inspire them to become responsible and altruistic leaders by providing year-round mentoring, life-changing summer experiences, college advising, and a lasting support network.

Summer Search changes the odds for low-income youth and ensures they succeed in school and in life.  In 2010 across our network of seven locations:

  • 99% of Summer Search seniors graduated high school
  • 95% of seniors went to post-secondary education, including 93% to college
  • 85% of students in post-secondary are on track to graduate
 
As important as their success in school, Summer Search expects youth to give back and become leaders.  In 2010 over 80% of Summer Search high school students engaged in their communities with 24 or more community service hours.
