About Us
At Summer Search, we believe our world is better off when everyone can discover their purpose.
Our mission is to unleash students’ potential through mentoring and transformative experiences. Beginning in their sophomore year of high school through post-secondary completion, we partner with our students to help them discover that they possess the talent and strength to carve their place in the world.
Our Impact:
- 97% of our students graduate from high school on time.
- 69% earn a bachelor’s degree within 6 years of high school graduation, compared to 21% of their peers.
- The majority of our alumni hold debt of less than $30K, compared to $50K for adults aged 22–35 who borrowed money for college.
Gala Honoree
Erik Toth of Toth Construction.
