Our mission is to unleash students’ potential through mentoring and transformative experiences. Summer Search partners with thousands of young people in the Bay Area, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Seattle to thrive and lead fulfilling lives.

As a first-generation college student, I know the power of community, of acts big and small, in making an impact on the lives of others.

In honor of my first year as CEO of Summer Search, I’m calling on my incredible community of supporters to make a gift to help me raise funds in support of our newest class of Summer Searchers.

All sophomores recruited to the program receive:

  • Year-round 1-on-1 and group mentoring: Participants are paired with professional mentors who they will connect with on a weekly basis through high school, exploring topics important to helping them prepare for their post-high school goals.
  • Two fully-funded summer experiences: Joining a group of diverse young leaders from around the world, participants will go on two summer experiences in the outdoors, on a college campus, and/or in another country. Summer Search covers all the costs for these experiences – from tuition to outdoor gear.
  • Post-secondary supports: As we say, “Once a Summer Searcher, always a Summer Searcher”. Once a participant joins the program, they join a caring and connected community to support their goals after high school and through their post-secondary years.

At Summer Search, participants get to be a part of something big.

They join a community that is more than 9,000 individuals strong. As CEO of Summer Search, I am committed to doubling down on our mission to connect young people to expansive opportunities, professional mentoring, and a community of support.

Thank you for your long-time support of my leadership and for considering a gift in honor of the next generation of Summer Searchers!
