How It Works

Bay Area Summer!

2023年, 197 Bay Area students participated in a summer experience, a number we hadn’t reached since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summer Searchers went on transformational trips across the globe, including outdoor adventures in Northern California and the Pacific Northwest, an arts program in Southern California, academic programming at Brown University, and service-learning trips in South America.

We were also thrilled to expand our summer experience offerings through new partnerships with local organizations, such as YMCA San Francisco and GirlVentures, an Oakland-based BIPOC nonprofit that combines outdoor adventure with social emotional learning for adolescent girls. Through these partnerships, we have been able to offer shorter experiences for students who aren’t able to attend our 2-3 week-long trips and forge relationships with organizations whose values align with those of Summer Search.

Boston Summer!

2023年, 239 Boston students participated in a summer experience. We offered 38 total Summer Experiences and around 95% of students were placed on one of their top three choices.

Each program partner hosted an orientation for all participants and students were supported by their mentor by talking through expectations, managing challenges, and setting goals.

One of the goals of 2023 was to have our trip partners be 15% BIPOC or women-led. We are happy to report that 60% were BIPOC or women-led/owned!
