While school may not typically be kids' favorite place to spend their summer break, Summer Rising offers a welcome relief to the monotony and isolation caused by the pandemic.

This summer, Operation Literacy hopes to bring children back into the reading circle. The campaign seeks to raise $1 million to deliver literacy activities and reading support to K-8 students enrolled in Summer Rising, a school-based program that will embed fun learning activities into the camp day.

A year ago, a coalition of 100 partners came together to save a summer work program for young people. Today, we are thrilled to announce the report of a report that offers a wealth of information, reflection, and evidence of the coalition’s collective impact, with a number of key lessons for the field.
