DC Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that she will be hosting the 2nd Annual “Summer in the City” on April 6 to connect families with summer opportunities for DC youth.
Mayor Bowser and the Office of Out-of-School Time Grants and Youth Outcomes are inviting parents of K-12 children to Summer in the City, which will host nearly 50 government agencies, nonprofits, and community-based organizations to showcase summer offerings for students. Summer in the City will take place at Raymond Elementary School in Ward 4 on April 6 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
“From employment opportunities to learning experiences, Summer in the City is a one-stop shop for families to learn more about the fantastic, high-quality summer programs available for youth across DC,” said Mayor Bowser. “If your family is looking for a way to keep your students engaged and active during the summer months, then I encourage you to attend this year’s Summer in the City.”
At the last Summer in the City in March 2023, 250 families were connected with summer programming opportunities for their children.
“We launched Summer in the City last year to centralize what’s available for District families and to showcase coordination across agencies and organizations that provide summer opportunities,” said Deputy Mayor for Education Paul Kihn. “This year, with our theme ‘Engagement for All,’ we can’t wait to spotlight our Learn24 network and partners delivering incredible programs that improve academic performance, social and emotional development, and health and wellness.”
