SCHOOL & COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Summer Search works to ensure every student has every opportunity to achieve their potential in school, work, and life.


Our valued partners enable us to make this vision a reality.

Through partnerships with schools, districts, and community-based organizations, Summer Search works with more than 8,500 students in the Bay Area, Boston, Philadelphia, New York City, and Seattle.

Summer Search programs support students with staying in school and excelling in their academics. We integrate into your community and offer positive long-term support systems for students.
